The Housemartins - Hold Tight! Granada TV Special - City Lites, Farnworth 1986
The Housemartins were an English Pop group active in the ‘80’s. The group blended British Pop, Soul and Gospel.
They were notable for their keen sense of humor; often billing themselves as “the fourth best band in Hull" (he best three bands being Red Guitars, Everything but the Girl, and the Gargoyles). But the band was about more than just humor. As Wikipedia notes: “Many of their lyrics were a mixture of socialist politics and Christianity, reflecting the beliefs of the band (the back cover of their debut album, London 0 Hull 4, contained the message, "Take Jesus – Take Marx – Take Hope").
Here’s another live video from 1986. This one says:
“On December 3rd, 1986, Granada TV show ‘Hold Tight’ featured THE HOUSEMARTINS in concert.
A special live production at the City Lites night club in Farnworth in December 1986.”
Enjoy.

The Housemartins Whistle Test (London 0 Hull 4) Documentary?
The Housemartins were an English Pop group active in the ‘80’s. The group blended British Pop, Soul and Gospel.
They were notable for their keen sense of humor; often billing themselves as “the fourth best band in Hull" (he best three bands being Red Guitars, Everything but the Girl, and the Gargoyles). But the band was about more than just humor. As Wikipedia notes: “Many of their lyrics were a mixture of socialist politics and Christianity, reflecting the beliefs of the band (the back cover of their debut album, London 0 Hull 4, contained the message, "Take Jesus – Take Marx – Take Hope").
Here’s a short (but two-part) film profiling the group. A short profile piece made for TV and broadcast in 1986. Features the band (Paul Heaton, Stan Cullimore, Hugh Whitaker, Norman Cook) in and around Hull plus interviews and live footage.
This is also known as the “Whistle Test” Documentary. I have only ever seen it edited into two parts. And, I mean, is it’ really a documentary? A feature? A featurette?
Whatever.
And here’s a special bonus piece with Norman and Stan “discussing” the breakup of the band:

Beauty Pill Plays the Tiny Desk
NPR introduces this terrific set by saying:
“Beauty Pill's music is an invitation. In it, life whirs with plunderphonic glee and riffs are funky from the inside out, with rhythms that are equal parts hip-hop and go-go. Conceived, recorded and meticulously tinkered with over the course of eight years, Beauty Pill Describes Things As They Are was partly made in front of an audience after member Chad Clark recovered from a viral infection in his heart that nearly killed him. It's one of the year's most stunning records, as well as an argument for letting art rest, live and breathe before it's ready to be known by a listener. “
Setlist:
"Afrikaner Barista"
"Drapetomania!"
"Exit Without Saving"
R.E.M. Live at the Raleigh Underground (1982)
From the video’s Youtube page (posted in 2013):
“Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the release of "Murmur" and somehow I stumbled upon the existence of this video which I'd never seen before. I love early R.E.M. especially "Chronic Town" and "Murmur"-era, so to get to see the band profusely sweating out these songs at such an early stage, and pro-shot, is just fascinating bliss. This was filmed less than two months after "Chronic Town" was released on I.R.S. and it's an outstanding document. It is also the earliest known professionally show footage of an R.E.M. show.
Setlist:
Wolves, Lower
Laughing
1,000,000 **

*** As identified by peechpanda in the comments section, Peter Holsapple appears to join the band on guitar for this song)
Mdou Moctar Live in Niamey, Niger
From the video’s Youtube Page:
“In winter 2020, the Mdou Moctar band met up in Niamey, the capital of Niger, to record a few songs in anticipation of the release of, Afrique Victime. We were staying on the outskirts of town at a friend's home. One day, we quietly set up in front of the house to film a few songs. Despite our relative isolation, the noise of the band inevitably attracted a crowd. What started as the four of us simply playing a few songs for a camera turned into a three-night run of rowdy concerts, bringing in hundreds of eager listeners. Each night, kids from all over the city would line up at our door, rushing over after their final evening prayer. These performances were completely spontaneous and wholly unplanned. Thanks to our audience, we were able to capture the spectacular energy of a typical Niamey concert for you. We're thrilled about it and hope you will be, too. Enjoy! “

Blue Scholars Appreciation Post
I typically like to post full concerts here at the Holiday at the Sea Music Blog. In fact, even though I haven’t been commenting on many of the posts, most of the videos I share are from concerts I have had at one point either on cassette or CDR from my tape-trading days. But sometimes, I just post things by artists I really like. One of those artists, you may have notices is the PNW hip hop duo known as Blue Scholars.
Blue Scholars are (were?) a politically conscious Seattle hip hop duo. Formed in 2002 while members, DJ Sabzi (Saba Mohajerjasbi) and MC Geologic (George Quibuyen) were both students at the University of Washington. The duo put out 3 full-length albums, 4 EPs and a lot of singles. All of which is worth hunting down while the group is on hiatus(?).
All of that to say, I searched and searched but couldn’t find a full video concert from the duo, so instead, I thought I’d just put together an appreciation post with some killer live cuts.
Enjoy.

Alsarah and The Nubatones: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
I first encountered Alsarah and The Nubatones when doing the Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow. I immediately fell in love with their music and featured their track "3roos Elneel" on Episode 16 which originally aired September 24, 2018. Back then, I wrote:
According to the group's Facebook page: "Alsarah & The Nubatones came together out of a collective love for Nubian music and a genuine belief that Soul transcends all cultural and linguistic barriers. Inspired by the pentatonic scale they blend a selection of Nubian 'songs of return' from the 1970s-today with original material and traditional music of central Sudan. Their set is a musical journey through diaspora and migration from an urban lense."
NPR adds:
“When singer Alsarah left her native Sudan, she was just a child who'd shown an interest in music. She's said it served as her coping mechanism during a subsequent transition to life here in the U.S. That passion led her to a university degree in ethnomusicology.”
The group stopped by NPR’s Tiny Desk in 2016 for three songs.
Setlist:
"Ya Watan"
"3roos Elneel"
"Fulani"
Players:
Alsarah (vocals)
Nahid (backing vocals)
Rami El Aasser (percussion, backing vocals)
Mawuena Kodjovi (bass, backing vocals)
Brandon Terzic (oud)
