O is for Frank Ocean
Never having developed a taste for R&B, I find “Pink + White” extraordinary. Rock and roll at its most cliché is about drugs, sex, and rock and roll. Frank Ocean’s “Pink + White” turns this inside out and back again, lamenting lost love and drug addiction in a most wrenchingly soulful manner. If you're interested, there is a great article at Bustle.com:

For fun after that heavy blurb, let’s hear from my little creation Otter Parade. This young quintet aspires to follow in the footsteps of the Violent Femmes. I really adore “Blister in the Sun”.

I love Blister in the Sun too. A quintet of otters parading down the sidewalk, singing, I can see it.
ReplyDeleteCool! Thanks for the giggle, my friend.
DeleteYep...not into R&B. I am pretty limited on my music. I like country but I love the oldies best of all. Great pics for your O though....which reminds me I need to go post my O....
ReplyDeleteOoh, I need to go read, then. ~grin~ Be well!
DeleteBlister in the Sun is such a fun song! And I like Frank Ocean as well.

Cool! Thanks for the visit, my dear. I am always interested in your musical tastes.
DeleteBlister in Sun is brilliant! I'm enjoying my daily dose of music I'm unfamiliar with.

So glad you like it, Keith! The song featured in a great movie called "Gross Point Blank" several years ago. I had to buy the soundtrack. ~grin~ Happy Blogging!
DeleteI can't say his music is entirely to my taste, but the subject matter is interesting. Blister in the Sun is great!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the tune. Happy Blogging!
DeleteYou keep it interesting!
ReplyDeleteThank you! That is high praise, indeed.
DeleteI have heard of Billy Ocean, but not Frank Ocean :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to have introduced you to someone new! Thanks for letting me know.
DeleteOh, groan, "Blister in the Sun"... Not a fan. I think I've heard it too many times. Totally burned out on it.
ReplyDeleteI understand. I'm glad I used it, though, as Keith across the pond never heard the tune. ~grin~ Be well!
DeleteInteresting post. I don't really listen to a lot of music these days but I do like country music.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised at myself for writing without music today. ~grin~ Do you like the new, often pop sounding country music or do you prefer old school? Myself, I prefer Johnny Cash. Happy Blogging!
