THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

... with THE BANGLES!  There's no better way to start than with these live takes on "Hero Takes A Fall"  and Kimberley Rew's "Goin' Down To Liverpool" for Dave in 1984. It was that sort of rawk (and the hotness of Susanna Hoffs) that got Prince to give them "Manic Monday," their first mainstream hit, from the A Different Light album, which included Jules Shear's "If She Knew What She Wants," Alex Chilton's "September Gurls," and -- inevitably -- Liam Sternberg's "Walk Like An Egyptian."  Nevertheless, their fondness for the genres of the mid-60s was still evident in their take on Simon & Garfunkel's "Hazy Shade of Winter" for the Less Than Zero soundtrack, and the psych-garage-bubblegum of "In Your Room" on the Everything album, which yielded their final No.1 hit, "Eternal Flame."  The draw from the 60s is a constant I saw them in a club, on a big stage and in a club again -- the last time was at a House of Blues, where they covered the We Five's "You Were On My Mind."  However, I'll confess that I put off featuring the band for about a bit, until the Susanna Hoffs solo cover of Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin' Love" popped back up on the Tube after an absence. That woman knows how to shake her tambourine.

GANG OF FOUR stopped by Morning Becomes Eclectic for a session.

JEFF THE BROTHERHOOD play a mini-set including a cover of Neil Young’s ‘Cinnamon Girl’ and Flower Travel Band’s ‘Satori Part II’ live in the KEXP studio.

LEMMY: Ten of the Best.

NOW SHOWING: This weekend's wide releases include The Age of Adeline, which is currently scoring 54 percent on the ol' Tomatometer; and Little Boy, which is scoring 8 percent.  Ex Machina expands nationwide at 89 percent.
