En 1978 una muchacha llamada Christine recorría las calles de Londres al borde de las lágrimas.
Tenía un sueño y parecía algo imposible: quería tocar en una banda de rock pero ninguna la quería.
Y al final, formó la suya propia.
Hoy, en #LaHistorietaMusical, Chrissie Hynde.

The Pretenders - Brass in Pocket

Pretenders - Relentless
I love Chrissy Hynde's singing, I really do. But since the first incredible album, and one could argue the first three, The Pretenders have been making albums one notch above and one notch below "good" ever since.
This is a "one notch above good" album.
#ChrissieHynde, legendary frontwoman of (post) punk band #thePretenders talks about eating meat: "I don’t see any reason to kill an animal if I don’t have to – if an animal is trying to kill me, well, maybe. But my real question is: why does anybody do that if they don’t have to? It blows my mind every day of my life."
Its the same with lots of other things: driving a car, using Facebook/Twitter etc. Why do people do it if they don't have to? Blows one's mind.

"Brass in Pocket", also known as "Brass in Pocket (I'm Special)", is a song by English–American rock band #thePretenders, released in 1979 as the third single from their self-titled debut album. It was written by #ChrissieHynde and #JamesHoneymanScott, and produced by #ChrisThomas. Originating as a guitar lick written by Honeyman-Scott, the song's lyrics were explained by Hynde to be about the cockiness that one needs to effectively perform.

🎧 Who new #ThePretenders had new music on release?
"Let The Sun Come In" is from RELENTLESS.
We don't have to get fat, we don't have to get old
We don't have information that we have to withhold
Free as the bikers back when they were thin
We don't have to fade to black
Let the sun come in
▶️ The Pretenders play Toronto Sunday (9/3) and Detroit (9/5). Sunday, September 17 @ #BBC #Radio2 in the Park, Victoria Park, Leicester.

@LibrarianRA Thank you for sharing this! I lived in Glendale at the time, and won two tickets from KLOS to see this show in the studio. Kaufman was hilarious, and the Pretenders were awesome! Thanks for bring this memory back!
This summer, I have been mostly listening to The Pretenders.

Day 16: A song that's a classic favourite
"Talk of the Town" - #ThePretenders (1980)
TBH I'm not quite sure why this song has stuck with me so closely over the years. Did I hear it at an impressionably young age? Was is because it was on the soundtrack to that evocative, coming-of-age cult film Times Square? Does it have something to do with that addictive hook (Am7 > B7) and #ChrissieHynde's singular vocals? Yes to all of it. Anyway it's a classic I don't ever tire of.

Well Bob, that gives me an excuse to post this wonderful live version (not the original line-up though)
Ha! It was The Pretenders who first brought it to my attention in 'Message of Love"
#ThePerfectWebsiteWould have "Tattooed Love Boys" to greet you on the home page!
Can remember a time when just about every college party I went to threw this EP on at some point. It was a good thing! #music #vinyl #vinylcollection #nowPlaying #Thepretenders #chrissiehynde
Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders has written many great ballads over the years, I went through The Pretenders discography and picked my favorite 25(!) that she's either written on her own or co-written and put them in Apple Music (below) and Spotify (in the reply) playlists https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/chrissie-hyndes-best-pretenders-ballads/pl.u-526bKT6zqzP #music #ChrissieHynde #ThePretenders #ballads
New Pretenders track off upcoming record due Sept 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocb4KkliFXc&ab_channel=Pretenders #music #ThePretenders #ChrissieHynde
🎧 #GraceJones covered "Private Life" on #WarmLeatherette in 1980, the same year #ChrissieHynde's song appeared on #ThePretenders debut LP.
#SlyAndRobbie joined the Compass Point #AllStars in the studio + #ChrisBlackwell produced. It's one of the #remastered Grace Jones tracks on "Private Life: The Compass Point Sessions" (1998). This is the #dub version.

Here's a wonderful live version of 'Back on the Chain Gang' by The Pretenders:
@openculture Not much happens. Then The Pretenders come on at 1:11 and kick down the doors.

Posting this in honor of the people of East Palestine, Ohio. (Originally about the angst over 1980’s urban sprawl, I think its disgust with leadership decisions in Ohio translates well to today.) I grew up less than 25 miles from East Palestine, and the state’s decisions about regulation, safety, and economic policy is just . . . Stupid. #thepretenders #TrainDerailments #EastPalestineOH
and it's funny that, given that, I've never seen them live. At least, I don't think I have 😂
I had tickets to see them at Madison Square Garden in late '81 but Martin Chambers put his hand through a window and they had to cancel a bunch of dates (it's even in his wikipedia entry! although they don't say how he did it).
I'd forgotten how much this album changed my life.
