Weekend Music -- More Back Pages

 

Indulge us as we continue to visit the blog's "Weekend Music/ Song" attic to relive some musical joys from years past -- some well known, others not -- that we liked then and now.

Last week, the theme was female artists.  Today, we're going to go with a random, eclectic collection of groups, with the date and the link to when it originally appeared in Hackwhackers.  Hope you enjoy.

Weekend Music -- September Twofer

 

Today we're welcoming in September with a twofer:  The Shins' "September" (2012) and "September Gurls" (1974) by Big Star.  Hope you enjoy!

 

 

Weekend Music - Big Star Twofer

Big Star, fronted by the late Alex Chilton, was a critically successful and highly influential band whose peak, arguably, was in the early 1970's.  Here are two songs, "Thirteen" from their 1972 debut album, and "September Gurls" from their 1974 followup album.  See if you can recognize some of their influences and who they in turn might have influenced, and enjoy (h/t San Francisco Bureau Chief Shauna, TCIITM).
