Robert Hazard - Escalator of Life (1982) Robert Hazard is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, musician, probably best known for composing and recording the song "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" which Cyndi Lauper covered, turning the song into a best-selling hit. He also composed the 1980s New Wave and MTV hits, "Escalator of Life" and "Change Reaction", which he performed with his band, Robert Hazard and the Heroes, which was popular in the Philadelphia club scene during the '80s. These songs appeared on the five song EP Robert Hazard, released in 1982. Hazard was profiled in a 1981 Rolling Stone article by Kurt Loder. In the piece, Loder goes through Hazard's musical history as a musician "...who started out as a Dylan-era folkie, then spent eight years singing country & western. 'I just love country music,' he explains -- which of course explains nothing, least of all the two years he subsequently spent with a reggae band...or his current electro-pop approach, which owes little to any of the above". Hazard's love of country music, however, does explain the direction his most recent recordings have taken, beginning with The Seventh Lake (2003) and continuing with Blue Mountain (2004). In 2007, Rykodisc signed Hazard and released his album, Troubador. ===================================== Tags: 1982 Robert Hazard Escalator of Life |

Bjork - Triumph of a Heart "Triumph of a Heart" was the third single from Bjork's album 'Medulla'. The video was directed by Spike Jonze. In the video, Bjork tires of her boyfriend, played by a real cat, and storms out of the house for a night out on the town. She goes to a pub where the soundtrack stops and the locals (including Dokaka) join her for a special performance of the song recorded for the video. She eventually returns back home and rekindles her affections for her cat-boyfriend. During the filming of the video, as she was running down the street, she accidentally stumbled and slid down the street with her face on the ground. The incident, as well as the scrapes on her face, were kept in the video. Tags: Spike Jonze Bjork Medulla 2005 Triumph Heart |
