Day 118: The Globe

The Globe by Big Audio Dynamite II.

This song and the entire album was new at the time and I love it’s quirky mix of dubbed and live material. Probably a love or hate type thing for people.

There’s little to explore after the initial pop perfection, and worse, it’s such an artifact now, so 1991 it reeks of fannypacks, wraparound shades, and neon armbands (especially “When the Time Comes”). Outside of the singles, there’s little to recommend, although the coke-fueled march “Can’t Wait/Live” is pretty engaging, and the whole thing is an undeniably fun summer vacation sort of record. Just not quite the BAD that I love.
