From the new season of Bridgerton. It took me a second to realize what this was during the episode, but a string quartet cover of Robyn’s Dancing on My Own is enough to melt even my cold heart.

Don't quite remember who turned me onto these guys, but I'm Stretch-ing out and listening to their catalog.

 

Interesting version...

These guys were my introduction to British New Wave, back in college. I was a bit obsessed, and definitely crushing on Nick Heyward.

Used to bartend in this really unexciting motel while in college and there were a few random CDs behind the counter that we would of necessity play over and over. This, oddly enough, was one and I still love it.

Shot with a potato, still a good tune.

Jessie Buckley & Bernard Butler - The Eagle & The Dove. Initial release before the full album.

^ The Arcade Fire set at Coachella this weekend was great and worth a watch if you can find it online!

I am for sure gonna see them whenever they decide to come through on their tour.

Found it!

I was trying to find this song... took a while, but I described it in Google as a "rising synth instrumental with wordless female vocals"... not actually wordless, as it turns out (stunningly obvious?) – I Feel Love by Donna Summer with help from Giorgio Moroder, of course:

Blue Man Group w/Venus Hum do a great cover of it, and it's always a highlight every time I've seen them live.

Bronski Beat also do a cover.

Unrelated, this video is delightfully wack:

Dude can move, too:

And they also have this gorgeous, much less flamboyant, hand-dancing video that is just sublime:

Loved it!!!

Doubtful he'll get signed in Nashville though.

BTW, he's South African. Now based out of Canada. Never shows his face.

Sea Girls. Really liked their first album a couple of years ago. This is a single from the upcoming second.

Never got to see Sylvester live, but heard how great he sounded live from many people who lived in the Castro at that time. Kind of a high water mark for LGBTQ people, especially in that time frame. And it's just fun!

As a bit of weird trivia, Cosey Fanni Tutti, one of the members of Throbbing Gristle appears as a dancer in the video.
