Lyrics:

I thought that I was over you

How I was mistaken

Why did I bump into you?

And start this chain reaction, mm

I felt it building up inside

When suddenly

Oh, it was more than I can bear

Mm, more than I can bear

When I saw you

Walking down the road with someone new

I couldn't believe it was true

It was true, yeah

I find it hard to sleep at night

This jealousy is burning bright

Visions of somebody else

Torments me to distraction, oh yeah

I think of him

Making, making love to you

It's more than I can

Oh, it's more than I can bear

Yeah

It's more than I can bear

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, girl

Walking down the road with someone new

(It's more than I can bear)

I couldn't believe that it was true

(It's more than I can bear)

It was true

When I saw you

(It's more than I can bear)

Walking down the road with someone new

(It's more than I can bear)

I closed my eyes

I know I'm not over you

(It's more than I can bear)

Over you

When I saw you

Walking down the road with someone new

I closed my eyes

I know I'm not over you

Mm, I still love you, baby

Yeah, I still love you baby

(It's more than I can bear)

Hey, I still love you baby

(It's more than I can bear)

Yeah, yeah

It's more than I can bear

It's more than I can bear

Songwriter:

It's more than I can bear, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

FEATURE: Now That's What I Call Rankings 2

I'm listening to every album in the UK Now That's What I Call Music compilation series and picking the best five tracks from each.

Disclaimer: My list will never take into account the politics or personal lives of any contributors to the songs.

Now That's What I Call Music 2

26 March 1984

5 - What Difference Does It Make?; The Smiths

Such cool guitar, and the vocal really works for me.

4 - Radio Ga Ga; Queen

Nowhere near my favourite Queen song, and yet it's still brilliant. Love the way it develops - really takes its time establishing a mood.

3 - What Is Love; Howard Jones

SO 80s - I can't hear this without imagining grainy television in 4:3. There's so much going on in the music, and the melody of the chorus lifts this above some very strong competition.

2 - That's Livin' Alright; Joe Fagin

It's not as sophisticated as countless other songs on this album, but its momentum and energy means I could listen to this endlessly, and feel pumped.

Honourable Mentions

These songs are also great:

Get Out Of Your Lazy Bed;Matt Bianco

99 Red Balloons; Nena

Girls Just Want to Have Fun; Cyndi Lauper

My Guy; Tracey Ullman

I Gave You My Heart (Didn't I); Hot Chocolate

Relax; Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Here Comes the Rain Again; Eurythmics

Undercover of the Night; The Rolling Stones

Pipes of Peace; Paul McCartney

1 - Only You; The Flying Pickets

I must have heard this song a thousand times, and it's only this time I realised it's entirely a cappella! I'm a fool. But it's gorgeous, and manages to be so evocative of its time even without the 80s instrumentation of Yazoo's original version.

The Seven-Ups (Philip D'Antoni, 1973)

Cast: Roy Scheider, Tony Lo Bianco, Larry Haines, Richard Lynch, Bill Hickman, Jerry Leon, Victor Arnold, Ken Kercheval, Lou Polan, Matt Russell, Joe Spinell. Screenplay: Albert Ruben, Alexander Jacobs, Sonny Grosso. Cinematography: Urs Furrer. Production design: Ed Wittstein. Film editing: John C. Horger, Stephen A. Rotter. Music: Don Ellis. 

The Seven-Ups has sections that remind me so much of Jean-Pierre Melville's crime films, that I found myself wishing that Melville had directed it. I can sense director Philip D'Antoni striving for the kind of ambience Melville achieved in movies like Bob le Flambeur (1956) and Le Doulos (1962), and in Roy Scheider he has the kind of actor like Alain Delon or Jean-Paul Belmondo who could bring off a certain world-weary style. D'Antoni does succeed in using New York City settings as effectively as Melville does with Paris, but there's a slackness to the film's pacing, a lack of energy and tension, that undermines it. The exception, of course, is the great car chase scene in the film's middle. The Seven-Ups is part of a trilogy of car-chase movies for D'Antoni, who also produced but didn't direct Bullitt (Peter Yates, 1968) and The French Connection (William Friedkin, 1971). The chase in this film almost saves it from being just another movie about vigilante cops using unsanctioned methods to take out criminals, a subgenre that reached its peak in Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan movies, Dirty Harry (Don Siegel, 1971), Magnum Force (Ted Post, 1973), and The Enforcer (James Fargo, 1976).

Review: High Anxiety by Matt Bianco & New Cool Collective

Review: High Anxiety by Matt Bianco & New Cool Collective @mattbiancoband

A few years ago Matt Bianco teamed up with New Cool Collective for The Things You Love, an album with smooth Latin sounds like ‘We Should Be Dancing’, ‘Samba Italiano’, ‘Breaking Out’, and smooth jazzy numbers like the title track, ‘Cry’ and ‘Do The Right Thing’ – there wasn’t a single song on that album that seemed out of place. Fast forward to 2020 and another New Cool Collective collaboration…

MobMovieCon and SopranosCon to Have a Sit-Down in Atlantic City

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

It’s time for the punks to meet the godfathers. The creators of SopranosCon merged with MobMovieCon for a family celebration. From July 23 to July 25, Harrah’s Resort & Casino in Atlantic City will house the boardwalk’s biggest gangster gathering since Nucky Johnson hosted the mob’s Atlantic City Conference in 1929.

“Al Capone will not be coming though,” VirtualCons CEO Michael Mota tells Den of Geek. “Those were the mobsters. I would say this would be the biggest gathering of mobster wannabes.” The Sopranos fan convention has come a long way since it was dreamed up by three gangster movie aficionados from New York, Maryland, and Rhode Island. The 2019 SopranosCon drew thousands of fans from as far as The Netherlands and the United Kingdom to the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus. A planned expansion to MobMovieCon had to be pushed back because of the pandemic, but the organizers introduced VirtualCons’ free downloadable app to host fan “experiences,” like a trip to Tony Soprano’s house in Caldwell, N.J.

“It’s grown unbelievably well,” Mota tells us. “We started with SopranosCon of 2019 and got 15,000 people over two days. We decided to open it up to be both SopranosCon and MobMovieCon, but the global reach we have, because of the virtual apps we built during the pandemic, has been unbelievable. Not only will we have thousands of people in Atlantic City, we’ll also have hundreds of thousands of people that will stream it through our app. It’s a great way to connect people to this genre.”

The opening shot for the weekend is a one-night event showcasing the 1996 HBO film Gotti. “It kicks off the weekend, ‘The Gotti Reunion,’” Mota says. “We’ll have Armand Assante, William Forsythe, Dominic Chianese, who was Junior in The Sopranos, but played in The Godfather, and Gotti, and in a tremendous amount of movies.” William Forsythe, and Robert Miranda will also join in the live reunion, which will culminate in the event’s big, as-yet secret announcement.

In Atlantic City, crime pays off. This year will premiere the convention’s Mob Movie Awards, which takes place 8 p.m. Saturday. “It’ll be just like watching the Academy Awards and the Emmys,” Mota says. “There will be a dinner served, people will be dressed up, there’ll be a red-carpet event. We’ll have live music. It’s going to be a really nice night of just appreciating the art of mob movies.”

The Mob Movie Awards will be hosted by a bona fide O.G. One of the premiere gangsta rappers who also wailed in heavy metal, and a Newark native. “Ice T became a partner of ours on the app that we came up with during the epidemic,” Mota says. “He crosses over from the music genre to the movies. He’s been on Law & Order for over 20 years, so we just thought that he would be the greatest addition to it.”

According to advance press, awards will be given in categories like favorite depiction of real-life gangster in a film or TV series, and a James Gandolfini Humanitarian Award. “There will be 10 awards,” Mota says. “One is going to be given to someone that’s no longer with us and there’ll be a tribute. Some of the categories are greatest hits. We have the greatest mob wives. I don’t want to give too many away.”

This year’s guests include Paul Sorvino, who played Paulie Cicero in Goodfellas; Lorraine Bracco who played Dr. Melfi on The Sopranos and Karen Hill in Goodfellas; Aida Turturro (Janice Soprano); Vincent Curatola (Johnny Sack); Kathrine Narducci (Charmaine Bucco); Federico Castelluccio (Furio Giunta), Dan Grimaldi (Philly and Patsy Parisi), David Proval (Richie Aprile) and Jerry Adler (Hesh Rabkin). Also on deck are Michael Madsen, Kathrine Narducci, Tom Sizemore, Tony Darrow, Sofia Milos, Jerry Adler, Jeff Marchetti, Taral Hicks, Eric Roberts, Ray Abruzzo, Matt Servitto, Dan Grimaldi, Jason Cerbone, Oksana Lada, John Bianco, Johnny Martino, John Fiore, Frank Santorelli, Garry Pastore, and Artie Pasquale.

The first event hosted 54 actors from the series, but didn’t stop there. There was a “Pine Barrens” tribute maze, an escape room designed like Dr. Melfi’s office, Bada Bing dancers, costume contests and cannoli-eating tournaments.

“The convention is very different than most,” Mota explains. “We have the traditional, celebrity autographs, but we try to really think outside the box. We have Tony Soprano’s truck, the white Escalade. We have the vehicle that Silvio and Patsy Parisi got shot up in. We purchased that from HBO. We have a motorcycle with all the autographs, so we have a little bit for everybody. It’s very experiential. There is a feast-like atmosphere.” So far, the organizers haven’t told the caterers to use Martin Scorsese’s mother’s famed recipe for tomato sauce. “Not this time,” he says. “We will consider it for next time.

Mota hopes upcoming MobMovieCon gatherings will mix in some of the older classic mob movies as well as gangster with gangsta movies. One day we may see New Jack City playing along with Once Upon a Time in America. “Yes, exactly, Mota says. “We want to make sure that it’s very diverse and hits on everything. We actually are working right now on the west coast and December doing one in Las Vegas,” he says. “We would like to do one on the east coast and one on the west coast. And each time we do it, we’ll theme it out. This one is mostly focused on the Gotti movie and then obviously it brings in The Godfather, and Goodfellas. But we’ll pick one or two classics that everybody loves.”

There are a lot of reasons to appreciate the genre which go beyond crime and punishment. “I think people love the connection with family,” Mota says. “I think that people do like to root for the villain. It’s got that constant idea of the government against these folks that came over to this country. They had it tough. They had to come up with a new way of life. And then there’s a balance of glamorizing that type of life, but it is just so it’s just so exciting to see. The diversity of people who were able to come out and come up with their own way of living.”

As a fan of both the series and the genre, Mota doesn’t quite see the upcoming The Many Saints of Newark becoming a gangster classic on the level of its source material. “I was just having this conversation yesterday,” he grins. “I don’t think anything can touch The Sopranos. As much as I want to watch it. I’m afraid that nothing will be able to live up to that standard, for me personally, to be even close to what The Sopranos was able to achieve, but we’ll certainly see.”

MobMovieCon will happen in Atlantic City on July 23 through the 25th at Harrah’s Resort. Tickets start at $50 for general admission and $75 for a two-day pass. VIP tickets cost up to $1,000.
