![]() I much prefer Cheap Trick’s narrative where the parents “got my KISS records out.” Besides, Sweet aren’t great at writing choruses. This is a decent but simple little glam banger aimed at teens whose parents don’t get their music and why it has to be played so loud. I mentioned earlier that this one created some minor controversy and was actually banned for including the lyrics “I can’t take no more of that God-awful sound, so for God’s sake turn it down.” Broadcasters took issue with the lord’s name and not the poor grammar. The latter just happens to be the next song up, the first of seven not on the Capitol version. version of Desolation Boulevard: The Six Teens and Turn It Down. Mostly they were a songwriting duo, but they also produced several acts including Suzi Quatro and Mud. The album was produced by Michael Donald “Mike” Chapman and Nicholas Barry “Nicky” Chinn - known as Chinn & Chapman. ![]() Quite an excellent mix, I should point out. It has a brilliant face-melter guitar solo in it. This song is also great, apart from the sorta lame chorus. Solid Gold Brass is next, and the only other song which you can hear on both the U.K. Not as lovely as Queen or ELO, but pretty great. Loads of the signature Sweet/glammy high-pitched backing vocals here and throughout. This song is also where the album title comes from. Sweet were trying to write specifically for their fans, even using random, common proper names. By this I mean heavy-strummed acoustic guitar with electric guitar and thunderous drums overtop. The Six Teens, which is on both versions, is a solid, very Ziggy-era Bowie-esque cut. ![]() Two of the eight songs in the set were from Desolation Boulevard. In fact, they (he) did a show at Cooper Park in Elgin, Scotland on April 30. Only Scott survives, and yes - he does perform as Sweet. ![]() Andy is Andy Scott, who plays guitar and synth, and Mick Tucker is the drummer. Incidentally - we all know that famous Blitz intro? “Are you ready Steve? Andy? Mick? Alright fellas - let’s go!” It’s sung by Brian Connolly. My version would drop all the Sweet Fanny Adams songs, but find a way to include Ballroom Blitz. Weird, isn’t it? Totally different records. Solid Gold Brass (from Desolation Boulevard) I Wanna Be Committed (from Sweet Fanny Adams) The 6-Teens (from Desolation Boulevard, but different spelling) My Generation (Who cover, not on Capitol version) Capitol Version (1975) Man With The Golden Arm (not on Capitol version)įox On The Run (original non-single version) RCA original - is more Sweet Fanny Adams than Desolation Boulevard. Truthfully, the Capitol pressing - released the year after the U.K. RIP.The North American version also has a bunch of songs from the previous album - Sweet Fanny Adams - rather than the slightly controversial single Turn It Down. Listen to some of his final works of art right here. Mac Miller, an artist known for racking up streaming numbers of his own, will undoubtedly make some serious waves with the next two tracks. A rep commented on the massive achievement of original content in saying, “Recording these tracks also opens up the opportunity for artists from across genres to join us in our uniquely inspiring Studio to record a new take on one of their top songs, as well as a cover by their own favorite musician or group.” Just this year, Spotify’s Singles series hit a milestone with over 1 billion streams. The whole focus of Spotify’s Singles series is designed around the era of 45s and traditional singles, hence the throwback track. The other, a cover of Billy Preston hit “Nothing From Nothing” from 1974. The first is a live version of “Dunno,” a cut from his 2018 album Swimming. Miller previously recorded two songs exclusively for the music streaming platform. While fans are still in shock over his tragic death, a posthumous double-release from the hip hop icon has released via Spotify. Mac Miller unexpectedly passed away nearly three months ago, but his music lives on.
