MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

By March 31st of 1995…

one of the new wave of UK bands breaking through-

was Elastica and their song

“Connection.”

(Music Cut #2)

The song’s iconic, jagged intro –

wasn’t actually played

by anyone in the band…

Instead, it was done by the lead singer’s boyfriend.

(Music Cut #3)

In the liner notes,

he shows up as:

Dan Abnormal.

He couldn’t use his real name.

Because he was under contract

with another label.

That boyfriend – Damon Albarn of Blur

(Music Cut #4 – “Woo-hoo” of “Song 2” – Blur)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“I don’t understand how the last card is played
But somehow, the vital connection is made.” – Elastica – “Connection”
