I don’t know. Yeah, i don’t know. It’s a summery kind of song and has this repeating guitar line, with what i want to say is a… warm guitar, with an accompanying falsetto “do dododo do do do.” Tabbed thus: It’s an old song. I want to say it’s a Recovery-era song, but i think [...]

The Hanukkah Scoot
Posted in Bunnygrunt on May 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The Hanukkah scoot – Bunnygrunt I don’t know why there aren’t more Hanukkah songs in pop music. There’s that My Pal God Records’ Holiday Record where The Goblins do Ha-Ha-Hanukkah and Atom and his Package just sing about what the void of a day Christmas is. I’m sure the Klezmatics have a song or two, [...]
Pork And Beans

Pork and beans – Weezer It seems reflexive to say something like how the mighty have fallen, but i think i’d have to go back and relisten to those first two albums, and then actually listen to the last decade of releases beyond the singles, to actually declare something like that. Still, it seems a [...]
Feed The Tree

Feed the tree – Belly Wow. Remember this song? I didn’t until this morning, when it popped into my head without anything as recent as ten years ago i could blame for putting it there. I used to love this song when i didn’t have so many songs to love. I think it’s the only [...]
Heaven In A Black Leather Jacket

Heaven in a black leather jacket – The 6ths I know it wasn’t its intention, but the different voices set to each of these songs counters absolutely those detractors of Stephin Merritt’s voice. This is of course my opinion (and again an opinion out of line with the whole point of this band). On every [...]
Did You Lose Something

Did you lose something – Days of Iris The last time i was in Melbourne, i had a chauffeuring assignment to drive Mr. Tenzenmen to Melbourne’s version of Central Station, driving his car, making him on time for his flight back home. What an honour! No, really, it was a nice drive into the city [...]
Inside Mumbo’s Hut

Inside Mumbo’s hut – Grant Kirkhope I don’t know why but i am playing Banjo Kazooie again. Maybe to actually finish it, which is something my sister did but i never. It was her game after all. That one, magical Christmas when we got our Nintendo 64 and split the games between us – Banjo [...]
Ceremony

Ceremony – Galaxie 500 Here’s another scoffable gap of mine: I don’t think i’ve ever heard the original version of this song. To compound that, i don’t even know if it’s a Joy Division (late or posthumous) or a New Order song. Of course i could research it, find out and fill that gap, but [...]
Can I Play With Madness

Can i play with madness – Iron Maiden One of life’s little struggles for the casual Iron Maiden fan is whether or not it’s worth listening to anything beyond Powerslave. Unaligned, not a matter of life and death, when you are removed enough to walk away at any time, when you can pick and choose, [...]
The Saddest Story Ever Told

The saddest story ever told – The Magnetic Fields Those days are gone You and I were young those summer nights You’ll see the world diving for a girl you’ll never find And then we’ll quietly grow old… the saddest story ever told. If i ever were to find myself in conversation with Stephin Merrit [...]
