Boogie nights are always the best in town
Mar. 18th, 2005 03:03 pmIt's Friday! It's about three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!
( You what? )
Today you were invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
The Coral - Dreaming Of You
If you can listen to this song, and avoid pulling silly faces singing along to the "wah-oooo" in the chorus, then you're a better man than I am. The video for Dreaming Of You involves a trumpet-playing bear: what more could you want ?
I own two Coral albums, The Coral and Magic And Medicine, and I'd thoroughly recommend both of them. (I also own Nightfreak & The Sons Of Becker, which I've never quite got along with).
The Coral, from which Dreaming Of You comes, is a romp of an album. Good boogie-potential and songs about setting sail for the Spanish Main, or about humans who turn into plants. (I kid you not: Now he swapped his legs for roots, his arms and soil are in cahoots). It's not, however, to be mistaken for a joke or novelty album, it's still got some fine and varied song writing on it.
Their second album, Magic and Medicine, is a much more mature and mellow offering. If you fancy yourself as a little sophisticated, go for the seond album. Less brassy (and indeed less brazen) than its sibling, it has some lovely, gentle songs on it; I'd recommend Liezah in particular. And no one turns into a plant at any stage. Magic and Medicine is excellent for slightly melancholy, late night listening, especially in the car. If you just fancy a bit of a bounce: first album.
