Roses in the park – Liechtensten A perfect song to fall at this year’s end. Survival Strategies in a Modern World is probably my favourite album of the year, in a year i’ve actively tried to keep up and take note of music released in it. I feel good. For the record, in my limited [...]

Trapeze – Lou Christie Well this song is great! It turns out this song was in Before Sunrise but it has been so long since i’ve seen it i couldn’t tell you when or in what capacity. To be a dreamy girl in the early to mid 90s, i wonder how many lost, simple, mopey [...]
X-Defect

X-Defect – bis With the part in this song after the bridge – Amanda’s verse sung in her own special, bratty way that has repelled near everyone i’ve shared bis with – a moment of perfect release, with the stripped guitar save for those nice, chimey, melodic chords you get by strumming the G, B [...]
Love My Way

Love my way – Psychedelic Furs This song is so weird. Those wafting synth string lines, the falsetto backing vocals that seem just to be making fun, Richard Butler’s voice and how he sings “hear-ar-art” and “fa-a-ace”, the demented starkness of it all. Great, but weird. Fold me in it, leave me in a room [...]

Untitled Theme For The Ellen Degeneres Show

The Ellen Degeneres Show Theme – Sharlotte Gibson And it’s a weekend! I’m not a devout watcher, but since its inception i’ve been at home most everyday and have caught lackadaisically so much of it. She is great. The best talk show host we get free to air here. I need to get a life. [...]
When Giants Fall

When Giants Fall – Love Is All This is kind of a Christmas song, right? It has that rise during the chorus that makes me think it could pass for one. It’s a better one than Yakkity Sax, which through some annoying people at work has become the song of the season. The songs on [...]
Amoureux Solitaires

Amoureux solitaires – Lio I actually still have the French version of this. And the Portuguese/Spanish (i’ve never been able to tell, but given she is Portuguese by birth…) version. So to make up for all those English language versions i’ve posted: Here! ’tis the season… for lowering the decay parameter on your synthesiser. This [...]
Tell The World

Tell the world – Vivian Girls It’s the year’s end and that means the year end best of lists have been out for three months or so now. When it does appear, i’ve seen so often Everything Goes Wrong and the Vivian Girls labeled as Shoegaze. What is wrong with people? Where are they grasping [...]
Electricity

Electricity – Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark A good song to have in my head on a day where our electricity was cut from 8 until 3pm. I had forgotten all about it. Maybe deeply in my subconscious i kept that memo and this song was me reminding myself of it. But then again this [...]
