The Dexy's album I usually reach for when I'm in the mood for soulfolkpopindiepunk (which happens more often than you might think). 5 stars.

Oh, and just a quick little bonus track in the Meat Loaf discussion. This is my favourite Jim Steinman track. It's not Meat Loaf, but from the (awesome) movie "Streets of Fire". I love how this song just builds and builds and just when you think it has reached it's peak and chorus, it just throws you into a crescendo that's a mix of Motown, Born to Run and every power ballad you've ever heard. And yes this is cheesy, but we're talking a world class camenbert cheese with truffel butter here.
EDIT: And if you haven't seen the movie, do so! It is a classic "boy rescues girl"-fable set in a neon drenched, rain soaked, neo noir hellscape, has Willem Dafoe as one of the best bad guys in 80s cinema, and ends with a sledgehammer fight. Yes, that's an actual duel with sledgehammers. And it's just as crazy and fun as it sounds.

I don't remember the previous Dexys album we had but apparently I gave it a 4/5. So far so good on this one too.

I don’t like this one as much as Too-Rye-Ay but I like it, a lot. Seems to lean a bit more towards Ska territory. His voice is so great.

I am not overly familiar with Penguin Cafe Orchestra. The main song I am familiar with, “Perpetuum Mobile” isn’t on this record. I bet most know that song. It was in like every late 1980s yuppy drama and many bank commercials.

A couple minutes in, it kind of sounds like instrumental Steely Dan.

I'm also mostly familiar with this group through movies. Their stuff tend to pop up in either quirky indie dramacomedies from the 00s or 80s drama/thrillers. They get sampled a lot too, I think?

I had this weird dream that I checked my phone in the middle of the night and our album for today was some penguin orchestra album. Weird.

It’s a good thing that it’s actually a cafe orchestra album!

What's that now? Today's album is the bonus tracks from Dexys Midnight Runner? Nice!
I'm listen to it now. It's fine...but I don't know what makes one Cafe Orchestra album better than others. It just sounds like cheesy chamber music to me.

Penguins are cool. This album is not.

Hey book people, you know what I didn’t need to listen to? Weird yacht rock bargain bin Muzak that turns into pretentious Eno sound excursions.

Kind of dead in here today. We could at least be talking about our favorite types of penguin. Everyone always says Emperor but I've always been partial to the Gentoo.
