Very sad. Apparently Keith was the one who pushed The Prodigy more in their current direction rather than pure EDM. Liam Howlett was always the mastermind, but Keith did have some creative input almost right from the start.

I also keep hearing that he was a totally different person to the onstage persona. A number of journalists have come out and said Keith was always surprising gentle, thoughtful and articulate.

Breathe

Took a look at a tape from a high school excursion (there was always some tape, before the CD players became more practical).
5 of 8 on the A side from The Prodigy: Breathe, No Good, Firestarter, Poison, Voodoo People.

Just to inject some banal reality into the music thread

A popular new feature he’s noticing is clients hoping to curate their own theme concerts featuring fleets of bands. Mr. Siegan says he put on one for a 1980s loving tech executive, featuring the B-52s, Devo, The Bangles, Tears for Fears and Flock of Seagulls.

I guess the music scene in SF was arguably dead by the late 90s at best

I have loved this band since the first sitting,listening to an entire album..stunned.
I have seen them a few times and my initial live exposure was SXSW..
As a young pimple faced punk the female vocals always draw me..Annie Lennox,Breeders,PJ Harvey..Pretenders,Cocteau Twins, Dead can Dance..and in a backwards rock way..I have always loved The Beautiful South and Housemartins female parts..
As music has really really expanded I can listen to female artists sing in French,different African dialects and Spanish and while not understanding much if anything I think I often get the message.
I didn't mean to leave out Nina Hagen or a couple of childhood favs by Motels and Romeo Void

Thank you!

Currently listening to a lot of Mashrou' Leila. They are a Lebanese band from Beirut and are well worth checking out. The lyrics are in Arabic but translations and transliterations are easy to find. To give you a flavour of their music, check out these two songs from their concert in Baalbek:

Very nice. The singer looks like the Hemingway ideal. He could kick your ass while singing sweet nothings in your ear.

Having just seen them at the weekend, I reckon that's a very good description!

Erotic City - Prince

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY4gnToCXa4&

Was shopping at the local Bi-Mart just now, thought they were playing Erotic City over the intercom. Thought to myself - that's rather daring, given the clientele tend to be middle-aged and seniors.

Alas, it was a different song they were playing that I was not able to identify, so I'll just have to listen to Erotic City on my own time.
