Captain & Tennille - Do That To Me One More Time (video)

Look Back in Anger: Captain & Tennille were a husband and wife, songwrting/ hitmaking duo, who endured a string of success throughout the 1970s. Riding the waves of Soft-Rolk, R&B, and a post-Beach Boys form of Pop, C& T pumped out a number of keyboard centric singles that contributed to the defining 'sound of the 70s.' The group carried on intermittently through the early 80s and 90s, inspiring countless other acts to utalize the synthesizer as a focal point for pop song construction. Here's the dreamy video for their 1979 single, Do That To Me One More Time.

Saâda Bonaire - You Could Be More As You Are

Rare and mysterious, early 80s neveau romantics, Saâda Bonaire, have been reanimated for a new Captured Tracks release. This track sounds like it could have been put out today by someone like Empress Of, or Geneva Jacuzzi, but in reality it was written many years ago! Bouncing brass synthesisers, over some jangling sitar + a Tom Tom Club-esque bassline = the right fucking disco song for Monday the 14th. Like a spider dancing on the strings of broken mandolin, left forgotten in the back green room of a steamy discotheque. Voila:

Glass Candy - Beautiful Object

Dude, this video is sick. Glass Candy really make rockin' in the lab look like the coolest/funnest/sweetest thing you could ever do. Most of us are well aware that in the real world studio time can be an arduous, painstaking process of grooming through finite details and stressing about money, and time, and vocal effects processors, and how to get those drums to sound like Steely Dan. WTF, ITS IMPOSSIBLE. But here we find a bubbly Ida No, dancin' and chirpin' on the mic like a little discafied bird, enjoying the pleasures of a backyard birdbath. Johnny Jewel is here too, smashing keys and taking that pad to Drum Town. Its good times all around, and the camera light flares just add to the glitz and timeless feel of the entire clip. BTW After Dark 2 just dropped and if you're not a complete idiot you'll go get it right now. Idano if Italians actually do do it better, but they sure know how to make some juicy, pineapple sized, boogie-woogie, get-downs.

Synth City

This is a silly vid! Matthew McConaughey, bringing back the only role anyone ever wanted to see him in. He lip-syncs real good. He plays a trumpet. He smokes cigs and macks on babes. Theres even a sparkling man-thong. Just fun times and absolutely no synthesizers! Ahhh, I could actually use a synth or 2 in this song, but oh well. Butch Walker and The Black Widows. I don't know too much about these guys, but nice work on the vid!!! Also shoutout to my girl, KP, for passing this on to me ;):
