You don’t know me – Ben Folds and Regina Spektor Another implanted song. Another song before this morning i knew only from the tune, not ever learning of its author. I thought it was the people over the road, listening to it as they work on their go kart or whatever they do in that [...]

Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye

Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye – Nina Simone It’s true, you know. Another case of having a tune in my head, undefined, unknown provenance, unexplainable, and being formally introduced to it as a Cole Porter song, sung by everyone from Rod Stewart to Ella Fitzgerald to Dinah Washington to Simply Red to Petula Clark to [...]
Cut The Tension

Cut the tension – Lifetime Although it is typical and reflexive of me to poo-poo and smother any enthusiasm for reunion shows, seeing Lifetime last year (or the year before [or possibly the year before that]) was one of the best shows i have been to. It wasn’t a complete success and there was this [...]
Make It Easy On Yourself

Make it easy on yourself – The Walker Brothers I’m kind of interested in research, or at least journal articles with research already done, in memory and recollection and why certain things pop into my head when they do. There is a wonderful randomness to it sometimes, one that science or (shudder) pop-science might pollute, [...]
Avoiding

Avoiding – John Henry West From the 3/12/93 compilation which i thought for the longest time was titled “Not For The Lack Of Trying” because that seemed equally as apt a name for a comp as it did a band. And every copy i’ve seen of this record has the cover folded with their photo [...]
Just You

Just you – James Hurley, Donna Hayward, Madeleine Ferguson As much discredit as some parts of Twin Peaks’ second series has gotten, from fans and creators alike, and how most of that discredit falls on scenes and inconsequential, sidetracked plotlines involving James Hurley, if you don’t think this is one of the best scenes in [...]
So Long, Baby

So long, baby – The Wedding Present There are some bands that should appear here more often based on the head space that take up throughout my day. It just so happens i don’t seem to ever wake up with them. They are learned, recalled, dreamt of, as i go about whatever i do during [...]
These Things Happen

These things happen – Action Painting! One of my favourite mp3 blogs – easily top three, probably all time favourite if i could declare such a thing without early morning fuzziness clouding the memory of any other blog i could permit or prohibit taking that place – is the sadly now defunct Little Hits. It [...]

Maggie May – Rod Stewart What’s with these songs lately? I know sometimes i say i’ve never heard a song properly, yet still somehow find it lodged in my head, but i have genuinely never heard this song beyond the ten seconds that they play on those Time Life commercials late at night (although now [...]
Carribean Queen

Carribean Queen (No more love on the run) – Billy Ocean When i was a kid for some reason i thought Billy Ocean and Billy Idol were linked as direct competitors in the pop world/marketplace, both associated with each other, coming from the same place, and targeting the same sets of ears. You were either [...]
