Objection (Tango) – Shakira Now’s the time for successful top 40 stars of yesteryear, i guess. I blame work’s radio, where successful top 40 stars of yesteryear go to pasture. Wondering whatever happened to Shakira led me to research and to find out she not only has the official song for this year’s World Cup [...]

Come Undone

Come undone – Robbie Williams Where’s Robbie Williams now? I mean, his songs are still everywhere (right where he left them) but not with the marketing force we’re used to. I haven’t seen a five minute filler TV spot promoting one of his greatest hits albums for a long time. I think Take That have [...]
Book Of Revelation

Book of revelation – The Mr. T Experience I posted the Fastbacks’ cover last time, so the Mr. T Experience original this time. I’m not sure why, of all the songs in the world, of all the bands in the world, the Fastbacks would choose to cover this song. There’s probably a connection i’m not [...]
Heavens Above

Heavens above – The Pastels “Ba baa ba ba badadada That’s love. Ba baa ba ba badadada Heavens above.“ From the first Pastels record, the Songs For Children 7″, which as the singer from the Pooh Sticks has on tape, i have on mp3. “Pure popcorn,” as Stephen himself says. Sublime, dumb, brilliant, above (though [...]
On The Wolves’ Tip

On the wolves’ tip – Huggy Bear Weaponry Listens to Love was the first Huggy Bear album i owned. It’s the only album they ever released, but you know what i mean – the first Huggy Bear i could take home with me. I was not at all ready for it. All i had heard [...]
Dark Wing

Dark wing – Boyracer Because i have nothing better to do, i spend much of my internet time reading the archived posts on the indiepop mailing list. Fifteen years of people dropping in and out, buying and selling things, arguing, defending, being enthusiastic, being petty, being clueless, being cluey, dead links, but above all talking [...]

Here we come around – Dear Nora My girlfriend needs the computer a lot today so there’s no time for the four hours i take up writing these things. Still, i offer this song as a great song by a great band whom everyone should find and love.
Suspended From Class

Suspended from class – Camera Obscura “Arse“. I can’t bring myself to believe Camera Obscura are boring live. To spite this conviction, every report i’ve received has been that they are indeed boring live. I guess i could actually go see them and find out for myself, but now i’m scared. What if they are? [...]
She Said She Said

She said she said – The Beatles Oh wow, a Beatles song. And the only Beatles song i have on my computer. It’s not like i’ve purposely put up walls to prevent such a thing and one crept through. It just happens to be the only one. It must mean something to someone. There’s a [...]
Famous

Famous – The Magnetic Fields There might come a day when i give up this dumb, ill-reasoned advocation of the small town. The pain that will come on that day, seeing the time squandered, the dreams kept unfulfilled, the complete abandon of hope, is probably enough for me to ever keep it from coming. I [...]
