Here's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG8eQBSp9Ao" taget=_blank" rel="nofollow">"Teardrop"</a>. It's not all just female vocals with Massive Attack -- here's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygw2zmEVsvc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Angel</a> from the same album. <strong>Pali</strong>, I was back in the 80's too while I was fossicking about on the MTV site. I can't remember historical dates to save my life, but there's a place in my brain where the lyrics of pretty much every 80's pop song live.... And isn't that a useful evolutionary trait? (sigh). Duncan, Massive Attack’s Mezzanine is an album I really love. Here’s “Teardrop”.

I thought you would. For those who are interested in exploring Korean pop a bit more, I've written a couple of other posts on performers who interest me: one on the hip-hop / metal / grunge prodigy <a href="http://thisislikesogay.blogspot.com/2008/10/cant-get-happy-end.html" rel="nofollow">Seo Taiji</a>, another on the soul and funk influenced <a href="http://thisislikesogay.blogspot.com/2008/09/kim-gun-mo-better.html" rel="nofollow"> Kim Gun Mo</a>. They are very different from Big Mama, but still worth a listen. They're also male, and I need to do more posts on female K-pop singers I like. But I did earlier link to <a>one song</a> by Jaurim, fronted by a great female singer. A couple of years ago they did a CD mostly of covers of 70s and 80s songs in English, including Bowie's "Starman." None of those seem to be on Youtube, unfortunately, but <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0cfj428Gdk" rel="nofollow">here's</a> a lovely cover of Massive Attack's "Teardrop" by Jaurim. I've never heard the original, but Jaurim almost make me want to track it down. Hm, a lot of links in there; I hope that's okay. I like "Love Shack" and its video (did you notice Ru Paul in there?), but I think I like "Roam" better. I was never a fan of the B-52s, but I enjoy them well enough and have several of their early albums on vinyl. I too hope that more and more music and videos find their way out of corporate control onto the web. I’m glad you liked Big Mama, Kelley! I thought you would.

Thank you MTV for those videos. I was transported back to the 80's. Nice Find! Oh those days of videos on MTV. Thank you MTV for those videos. I was transported back to the 80′s.

Hm... interesting. I would have loved to listen in on that conversation. :-P I'm often ambivalent about such things. I'd be a free-for-all advocate if I wasn't so jaded about the reality of national politics, foreign policies and even the most basic and personal human relationships. What bugs me the most is when someone claims to be free-trade and then they only carry water to their mill and restrict any outward flow of resources and goodwill. Meh. Oh, but look! :-) We've got the B-52's on YouTube now. Thanks. It's worrisome to think that soon all those companies enforcing---and hoping to thrive on---internet copyright will gang up on Google and arm-wrestle it into compliance. Thank goodness for geeks with bucks, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Gibson, Sterling, John Perry Barlow and his <a href="http://homes.eff.org/~barlow/Declaration-Final.html" rel="nofollow">"A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace".</a> You an isolationist?

Sorry about that! I had no idea. Music should be global! I'd be bitter too. Nicola accused me yesterday of being an isolationist, which mortally offended me (grin) and she's just wrong, damn it! (We were talking about Washington State politics...) Okay, YouTube version is also up. Sorry about that! I had no idea. Music should be global!

My parents were anti-TV. They were particularly against cable TV---all those foreign values of decadence, tsk-tsk. I jumped with excitement at the news that MTV had launched a video site. But I'll have to stick with YouTube a little longer. All those videos say "Copyrights restrict us from playing this video outside the US," including the B-52’s one you posted here. I'm glad I just saw them a few of months ago when they came to Vancouver with Cyndi Lauper, so I don't have to feel completely bitter about US-only viewing perks. Same with Amazon's MP3s---they won't allow people outside the US to purchase those. I guess I am bitter. Meh. I was 20 the first time I watched MTV. My parents were anti-TV.
