The Standby Connection | bandcampsnoop
24/6/26.
Bandcampsnoop says: The first few songs I heard from The Standby Connection (Valencia, Spain) didn't actually prepare me for what was to come. The first few songs made me think of a more indie Lemon Twigs or even The Chills ("Visions"). But then, this album turned into full-on Galaxie 500/Luna worship. Well done worship at that. I listened all the way through and then looked at the credits.
Surprise! On track 6, "MB", none other than Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips make guest appearances.
Members of The Standby Connection have also played in Polar.
This is released by Spanish label No Aloha Records.

Chris Chew said: "The lyrics, vocals, instruments..it all gets to me. This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever.” so I couldn’t resist but normally don’t bother with Instagram (it’s just bloody awful!)

again I think that my dear old friend Stephen Anthony Richard Blackman introduced me to Feist early on . . . .and so I followed then and this cover by Broken Social Scene cropped up in my searches

MM in Korea 1954
In 1954 Marlyn stopped off via detour from her honeymoon to entertain the troops in Korea.
Bob Hope started such a things to entertain the boys back four years earlier with a review and stayed for a three hour set before being flown off
MM stayed for 4 days and performed ten times in just a flimsy purple cocktail dress not having brought any costumes and was freezing (it was February!) and still stood in the rain to entertain! Hence the pictures of her wrapped in army fatigues to warm her up. Wonder what Joe [Di Maggio) thought about such a break to his honeymoon!?
