Stereolab - Jenny Ondioline (Official Video) 

You have amazing taste in music.

Add Spiritualized, Pulp, and Suede to that list and there's my coming of age soundtrack. All of them are still in heavy rotation on my turntable.

I saw them play live to about 30 people in Reading in '97 or 98. Last year ('19) they played one of the big stages at Primavera to thousands of people at 0200. It was suitably epic.

They are epic in my mind. I have a small brain partition, just for them.

Absolutely! I’ve been a fan of the 90s my whole life and was always aware of stereolab but never listened to them until recently. It’s so of the best music I’ve ever heard

I love Latisha I miss Mary

We love them it doesn't matter whether a f****** other people do

@Kristan Reed Same here! One of my favorite bands for about that long 😌

If you can still find the CD set check out Oscillions From The Anti-Sun: it collects all of their 90's EP's and includes a DVD with all of their videos. Fun stuff! Miss you Mary!

ditto - gotta love youtube

Some cuts in this video already get looped that it would not make much difference if they went with them all the way, but then again Part 2 has different lyrics... This video is neat, but a performance video would still probably be the most suitable, however they seemingly never tried to perform all the parts in any concert (including the ”out of phase” studio trickery), correct me if I am wrong.

I went to their first show in Dallas after Mary died. It was so sad. Like they were great, but rather than have someone sing her harmonies, they had someone playing a horn. Like they knew there needed to be something there but couldn't bring themselves to have someone "replace" her. I cried during half the show.

Its fucked up how she was killed. Automobiles should be treated like pistols.

❤‍🩹@@kinslayerauthor4051

their live shows through the mid 1990s were the best any uk band did

Them and unwound

what??? 😂

I certainly care. As do millions of others.

probably collapsing. it's like a tradition in socialism.

I saw her with the Source Ensemble 4 years ago. I delivered my compliments and she was super nice.

That was the *right* T Shirt she sold you. You just asked for the wrong one.

Likewise. How did Stereolab completely escape my attention as a 90s teen? They're brilliant

It’s never too late to discover the Groop, Welcome 😊

Make sure to hear Can, This Heat, Cardiacs and The Residents. They are like pinnacle of music.

@@PEGGLORE *_merci, familiar with Can and The Residents, but not the other two - will check them out!_*

@@sidDkid87 Cool. They're special bands. Other things that must be heard are Joe Meek - I hear a New World (1st ever concept album). Silver Apples invented dance music in late 60's. Baby's On Fire by Brian Eno has the greatest ever guitar solo, played by Robert Fripp. The Pop Group's most famous songs must be heard. Most recent 'best band' I discovered is Killing Joke. They invented Grunge in 1980 with the song S036 from their 1st album. They are so good. Discovered them 6 months ago. Came back to hear them about a month ago, and discover the guitarist just died. That sucks. They were so good. Never see them play now. I was too late.. Art Bears are good. Winter Songs is a great album..

Yeh :-) They're one of my faves of all time.

the lyrics are about maintaining an "optimism of the will" in the face of miserable defeat by the forces of reaction. it's a song of hope.

@@Fopenplop Yes! I see it as the triumph of the will. Despite the darkness that our reality has sunken into ("Life on Earth is a bloody hazardous affair") one must believe in its own ability to create, one must seek challenge and stimulation to make stuff because it's the most effective way we can communicate our struggle to our peers, through honest expression. It truly is a song of hope and what's great is that early Stereolab has a lot of songs like this: uplifting yet thoughtful, blunt yet romantic, and most importantly, hopeful.

@@dansanq triumph of the will .... now where have I heard that before?

@@aubreylear 😂 I was not aware of the reference, my bad. It's not surprising though, as it's no secret that the nazis took Nietzschean concepts (which were the inspiration behind my comment) and twisted them.

Yep

Like Hawkwind, with girls.

And one of my positives was to discover Stereolab two years ago while listening to an online radio station. "Ping Pong" was my introduction to The Groop.

And is too short

and it's fucking glorious

just like the diamond sea

@@jessepinkmansimp6090 lol be happy you got dope parenrs

I'm sure that you're already in the know but Tim Gane had all of their UHF/Duophonic releases remastered and they all sound phenomenal! One of the most unique groops in the history of modern recording!

reading this in 2022. was hoping to see them for my first live concert ;(

i would hesitate to namedrop neu alone, rather the whole ‘motorik’ thing in general (which was, go figure, popilarized by klaus dinger from neu) but then also i think you’ll find their sound is similar to a band called young marble giants ! especially the song N.I.T.A from their album colossal youth. another fantastic band with similar vibes and female singer is Broadcast!

Broadcast has a song that sounds very similar. At first I thought this was a cover of it.

​@@YellowChoklit We could both name lots of German musicians but it's hard to argue that this track isn't a direct "Hallogallo" homage specifically, I mean it even lifts the motif Personally, I prefer "Jenny"

Rock has been stagnant since the '70s everything since is a copy of a copy with continuous iteration

Not even reiteration and antidistablishmentarianism. Sigh. Pedantic, pedantic, pedantic...a big , big love.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DSXf0RRtSQ8.html their live shows in the 1990s just got better

Mmmh…not sure that Deb has ever done any backing vocals…

Totally

Bisous back at y'all
