En verano – Vacaciones Even though i believe Vacaciones wholly capable of writing such a song, i have a feeling this is a cover. If so, i wish i knew who it was by. Vacaciones have a knack for covering songs by people i love (Lio, France Gall, Heavenly), and i’m always happy and ready [...]

Confusion

Confusion – New Order I said yesterday that this was the first New Order song that i really liked. I think i need to be told what to like. It was because of the BBC series Dancing In The Street, and this being the New Order song they covered in depth – Arthur Baker and [...]
Thieves Like Us

Thieves like us – New Order For a band whose universal high standing, reverence and recognition i see as convincing enough evidence that my attention and energy are not needed here, that i will find nothing personally vital with them, it’s always nice to find another New Order song that i like. I like things [...]
Paper Thin

Paper thin – Betty and the Werewolves My favourite song on one of my favourite records released last year. My… third favourite album of last year. It is a song i love so much that i bought its single twice in a blind desperate quest to own everything i could by this band. Fact: If [...]
A Song I Made Up

A song i made up Yes, a song i made up. In my head. I’ll probably lose it by this afternoon if i don’t write it down or record it. But what do i need it for? I need a band, real bad. I need a band where i don’t have to do any of [...]
With Arms Outstretched

With arms outstretched – Rilo Kiley Curse not yet broken. I have never sung the sing-a-long of this song along with anyone. Surprise, surprise. I wonder what it would be like – to share this band and their effect with others. It scares me a little. Still, it has always seemed wrong that my love [...]
What’s Happening

What’s happening – The Jasmine Minks I’d like to know what’s happening. This string of Jasmine Minks songs will forever remind me of my wordpress problems. Maybe they are a curse. Nothing’s loading, it’s just basic HTML, nothing else. It’s hard to write these things blindly. Is anyone else having this problem? This is the [...]
Think

Think – The Jasmine Minks Jasmine Minks Tropic Club, 27-2-86 “FUCKING ATTITUDE!” almost SCREAMED as “THINK!” shifts into SPONTANEOUS HAPPENING waters… “2 years ago” they said, CHRIST — brings it home, 2 fucking years of BRILLIANCE ignored, but finally a revitailised trumpet-powered Jasmines make it to Bristol… Disturbing Peel Session… &_#189; hearted stabs at “Forever [...]
Cold Heart

Cold heart – The Jasmine Minks Is wordpress as screwed up for anyone else as it is for me? Can you even see this?! I’m typing blind here. Anyway… It’s late. Nothing’s working. I’ll make this quick. Cold heart by the excellent Jasmine Minks is today’s song. It is not their best, yet if a [...]
Pretty Flamingo

Pretty flamingo – Manfred Mann I always thought Manfred Mann were an 80′s/90′s turn of the decade band. Like Londonbeat or Fine Young Cannibals or Bros. or Right Said Fred. I don’t know why. They’re English. I got that much right. I just never thought it was English Invasion, that i was twenty-five years off [...]
