Song of the day – 20. Dream Wife

This is what tipped me off. Nothing. A casual mistake, searching for a similarly named band and then I was caught, ensnared, spellbound like a myopic fly beating around furiously and futilely inside the snare of the sticky, sticky music. Not even trying to escape, because why would I want to do that?

Song of the day (the old and the old) – 19. Nino Ferrer and Crayola Lectern

We’re in a holding pattern right now. Roger, roger. Let’s stay in position until we figure out what’s going on below. Bank 30°. 

And so forth.

Song of the day (the new and the old) – 18. Skytone and Felt

Sometimes, music catches you like that.

Song of the day (the old and the new) – 16. Boris and Olivia Newton-John

Boris seem to be grinding away at the same chord as when I last heard them, a decade or two ago.

Song of the day (the old and the new) – 15. Deerful and The Seshen

This song, right here. This song makes me happy/sad. 

Song of the day (the old and the new) – 14. Helen McCookerybook and Dolly Parton

Helen stopped by my house a few months ago, on her way to a show.

Song of the day (the old and the new) – 13. The Plan and Miaow

What is excluded from history is more important than what is included.

Song of the day (the old and the new) – 12. Feature and Life Without Buildings

Interesting. The sound on this video is far superior to the sound in my iTunes library. More vibrant, incisive – particularly the vocals. 

Song of the day (the old and the new) – 11. Little Mix and Mecca Normal

I like ‘Blurred Lines’, although I can do without the rapey connotations. 

Song of the day (the old and the new) – 10. Klein, La Roux and Inspiral Carpets

There is a Jane Siberry song that goes:

Song of the day (the old and the new) – 9. Tunabunny and Tunabunny

Any relationship has its peak. Much of my life has been an ongoing argument against the implications of this statement.

Song of the day (the old and the new) – 8. Skating Polly and Paint Fumes

Actually, I am not sure which is supposed to be the old and which is the new. 

Song of the day 7 – Farai

This is the edge, step any closer and you will tumble. I have a song for you, today.

song of the day 6. frazey ford

That time of night again. Another grey day survived, no judos. Time for one final trawl through the Facebook feed.

song of the day 5. beyoncé

If I could own just two records, to span the breadth and solace of popular music, it would be Ramones by Ramones and 4 (The Platinum Edition) by Beyoncé. 

song of the day 4. antlered auntlord

Reinforcement, and it feels so good.

song of the day 2. Hinds

A few fundamentals of rock’n’roll.

song of the day 1. Jenny Hval

The images she dislodges from my mind with this song I am unable to share.
