About this deal

OK - I 'caved in' and bought the ltd edition, single-sided "Tonight" single, with "Blondie" etched on the other side.

To have a collaboration between Blondie and the sublime Laurie Anderson is such a treat, with the song Fragments having several phases, including a short break in the middle of its nearly 14 minute running time. Vintage Blondie (a complimentary,not a derogatory term by the way),can be heard on songs like; opening track - Doom or destiny, and Already naked. The standard verse, chorus structure is tweaked with so many inventive bridges, unexpected changes in the metre of the lyrics and moments when the song seems to stumble over but remains in perfect time (love this stuff - it keeps the songs fresh and exciting).The band's performance at WTTW's Grainger Studio in Chicago, taped on December 10, 2015, aired on the PBS concert series Soundstage on January 26, 2017, containing the new songs "My Monster" and "Gravity". Obviously if you want to play the whole album in one go you get the CD or the full album vinyl, otherwise with this single collection you are constantly up and down changing records. Heart of Glass” added disco’s bounce to the band’s guitar crunch; their cover of the rocksteady classic “The Tide is High” made plain the Caribbean influences that were infiltrating rock in the late ’70s and early ’80s; “Dreaming” was an urban-cowboy sigh reclining on a cloud of glitter; and Harry’s downtown-blasé, Fab 5 Freddy-saluting bridge on “Rapture” led to it becoming the first rap video to appear on the white-breadiest, earliest iteration of MTV. A date in Chile was scheduled but later cancelled and rescheduled for 2019 and going sold-out in ten minutes.

The album's bustling with life throughout,and original members; Debbie Harry,Chris Stein and loyal to the end drummer Clem Burke,with their trademark punky sound,make this possible. Lead guitarist Chris Stein stated in an interview with Mojo, "We thought to ask people because there's so much good music swirling about", rather than it being a result of running thin on ideas. Best Day ever by Sia seems a bit of a strain for Debbie but nowhere near as bad as some have said, Gravity reminds me of the inspiral Carpets Generations with the Distorted Vocals, Love Level another Sexy Song form Stein/Harry followed by Keyboardist Matts Too Much an out and out Pop Song, This album is nowhere near as eclectic as Ghosts of Download and a Trillion Times Better.

Fragments", released for streaming only, is a song originally written and performed by Canadian YouTuber and musician Adam Johnston, who releases music under the name An Unkindness, that gained much attention during the Australian tour and was released as a promo track on YouTube. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It consists of recordings of six live tracks from the Cuba shows with extra guitars added by Stein in a New York studio. Pollinator opens with the Harry/Stein rocker “Doom or Destiny,” which chugs along on a simple, brain-Velcro riff and is full of winking wordplay; Congleton gives Harry’s lower-register vocals a metallic sheen that makes the rapid-fire internal rhymes sound playfully robotic. The box set singles also do not have barcodes on their sleeves - the small barcode is on the box itself.

and giving Blondie their ninth British Top 10 album and the band's highest UK chart peak in 18 years.

There's no band more timeless than Blondie, nor any band more likely to nonsense the idea that pop music is the preserve of the young - Debbie Harry is 71 years old, yet 'Pollinator' is as fleet of foot as anything the band have made, not to mention their finest album since their late-'90s comeback with 'No Exit'.

is Tonight a beautiful song Featuring Laurie Anderson, Pollinator is all about Guests especially on the writing side of things! But Pollinator transmits that freshness of his 1978 album "Parallel Lines" mainly in his cut "Long Time" clear nods to "Heart Of Glass". Fragments,” meanwhile, is a seven-minute, blown-out cover of a 2010 piano ballad by the Vancouver musician (and movie blogger) Adam Johnston.
