Once again, YouTube has decided to throw me something different. And that thing is, the pop duo Strawberry Switchblade!
A Cute and amazing duo. Just look at them dance with there cute outfits in this music video that took me down this rabbit-hole:
I really dig their style in clothing and music, it's really charming.
From there, I got recommended and introduced to Peel Sessions. Which are music sessions recorded for the John Peel show on the BBC 1 radio, from 1967 to 2004. They are a great way to discover some great bands and music! The sessions included many bands, who recorded their music live for the show; from what I understood, the method for the show rose from Musicians' union rules that forbade how much music could be played from vinyl records.
Check out this blog; for more reading on John Peel. There are so many sessions - way too many, perhaps - however, my favorite Peel sessions so far (in no particular order) are:
