Groove Is In the Heart

Groove is in the heart – Deee-Lite One of the first songs i ever remember liking. One of the first adult songs anyway – songs they played on triple J. I don’t think i’ll ever realise it’s importance. I don’t even know if it had an importance. My age at the time didn’t give me [...]

For we are the king of the boudoir – The Magnetic Fields Prowesslessnesslessness. That’s what i need. For we are the king of having a job interview today, and the king needs this job bad. Here goes…

Pretender

Pretender – Hoover Last night at the Bloodclot Faggots show, a friend of Peter’s used the show’s location to buy some records in between bands, something that seems not right to me but what do i know? He wanted The Lurid Traversal of Route 7. He knew he wanted it but he had never heard [...]

Oblivious

Oblivious – Galaxie 500 I listened to the Galaxie 500 covers album the other day. Some of them were ok, but every single one made me wish i were listening to the band themselves. That is not something i can level to Galaxie 500. Their covers are some of my favourite and preferred versions of [...]

Meaningless

Meaningless – The Magnetic Fields If it were me (it’s not), i would have found so many more assonantly rhyming “-ess” words to cram into this song’s coda, making it such a mess of sibilant “-ess” sounds there would not be enough pop filters in the world to mask it. He just kind of gives [...]

Temperature’s Rising

Temperature’s rising – Galaxie 500 Just as it’s getting warmer here… Weather-wise, not anxiety or drug influence-wise.

The Rainbow Connection

The Rainbow Connection – Kermit the Frog How many times can one person listen to the same song in a row? My girlfriend must have listened to this continuously for over an hour straight, waking me up with it, bookending my shower with it, dancing around the house with it. I think i’ve said this [...]

A Dozen Roses

A dozen roses – Braid I love Braid every bit as much as i do Rilo Kiley, and they mean possibly even more to the me who needs music to mean things to him. Also, i’m less embarrassed to admit it. However, A Dozen Roses is easily my least favourite Braid song. It’s just so [...]
