Tuxedomoon - The Stranger
Not the best quality of video, but since it's one of my favorite Tuxedomoon songs, I was very excited when I stumbled across a video for their song The Stranger.
I don't know a lot about Tuxedomoon, except that they're underground cult favorites from San Francisco. I've been listening to whatever I can find of their's lately, though. I have my friend Li to thank for introducing me to them in a roundabout way. She talks and writes about them from time to time, so eventually when I came across Pinheads on the Move I ended up grabbing it for my collection without even listening to it. It's probably been one of my best impulse grabs in the last few months.
I also have to thank the music blog called The Entroporium for a nice little write up on Tuxedomoon that they did last year that increased my curiousity about the band. You should read it, too....after you finish watching the video!

Leilani, thanks for checking out my write-up. I've been pretty inactive lately, so every bit of encouragement helps. For Tuxedomoon, I'd recommend Half-Mute or Desire, especially if you can find the French versions with the first two EPs appended as extra tracks. (Pinheads On The Move was actually sort of an odds & sods compilation of mostly self-released 7"s. Those were the days!) I think itunes now carries pretty much everything Tuxedomoon.
Cheers,
S.
Shawn, I'll definitely look into grabbing those albums the next time I have some extra money. I sort've over-did myself on money spending this weekend and now my music collection is going to have to suffer. Ha.
Your blog is one of my favorites and I am flattered that you chose to comment at all on mine. That whole series you did (that included the Tuxedomoon write up) was very engaging and informative and I loved reading it. I hope to see you actively writing again, soon!
