All this week, videos from NYC Pridefest, where I represented Sundance Outdoor....
Secretive Sally
Sally Shapiro doesn't sound like the name of a disco singer... It evokes the names of fourth-grade classmates at Hebrew Academy of Nassau County (HANC), where I spent grade 4 and 5... But this Sally, the psuedonym of a VERY anonymous Swedish singer, is all glitter balls and day-glo attire..I would have missed the charming, barbie-doll delivery of 'He Keeps Me Alive,' today's Song of the Week, had it not landed on Rolling Stone magazine's Top Singles of 2007.
You'll recall I spent the last days of 2007 grounded with an ear infection, so all I had was time, and I listened to all the songs I hadn't heard.
That endeavor unearthed many goodies, including this and MGMT...
There's no official video for 'He Keeps Me Alive,' so we'll begin with 'Jackie Jackie,' which does have a clip...
Here's a good pastiche fan video of 'He Keeps Me Alive,' which is oddly sped up a bit, like a 33 record on 38, for those of you old enough to get that reference....
