OK, it doesn't really sound like that Arcade Fire song (Sprawl II).

Well, that photo on the far right is not the most flattering photo of her, and she is 65 years-old by the way.

Dude, she's 65 and has battled breast cancer. Get real. You're kind of an ass.

My first vinyl album; my first heartthrob.

Oh yeah, and fantastic sketch below.  New wallpaper!

Wah? Looks pretty good to me for sixty- five; especially when you post a pic of her pulling face - not quite fair i think.

The rerelease of this album on cd has a bunch of extra tracks, including a demo of this song without all the synthesizers and it's remarkable how well the song stands up without all that extra production.
 
And it highlights Clem Burke's excellent drumming.

I am actually really proud of this. The best one I've done in a while.
Original photo reference by Mick Rock. Such a 70s typical photo, lots of soft focus, so it was actually quite fun to do.
Blonde hair: A pain, but always turns out nicely.
And I never do patterns, so the stripes went through a few different modes...
Oh yeah, Debbie Harry. Blondie.

Weak vocals— Cheesy melody. Brings back memories... but there are better memories from that era!

Those of you who enjoy this track may want check out one of the bonus tracks on this album "Once I Had A Love".  I assume it's a demo version of Heart of Glass, but with no electronics or other production treatments.  The guitar work replacing the synths is really good and Debbie's vocals are just a little bit off.  I think it still has that punk sound, which Heart of Glass totally ditched.

I saw her/them at CBGB a few times back then too (when only their first album was out).  Once she had these Coca-Cola-emblazoned, bell-bottom hiphuggers on.  My goodness!

She was also in a totally messed-up movie in the 80's called "Mother Goose Rock and Rhyme".  Along with Paul Simon, Little Richard, Cindy Lauper and Bobbie Brown...even at twelve, it struck me as something you should probably watch tripping to really appreciate.

Blondie - Heart Of Glass
Teddybears - Punkrocker (w/ Iggy Pop)

Hmmmm.

Let's see: the godfather of punk still being vital and current, and the queen of CBGB's reminding us that not all of Blondie's work was vital...

Still rates high, but reminds me how much I detested this when it came out. The good thing was that when I was djing in a disco, I could slip this in between all the other crap I had to play - how subversive, how PUNK!
