nothing – no one There was nothing there. Just nothing. Maybe i’m broken. Scanning my brain like a radio trying to find a signal, a song, and nothing. And there would be nothing in there for some time after i got up, but that was probably just due to me trying so hard to put [...]

Science Friction

Science friction – XTC Early XTC. This is one of the records i inherited from my mother, and one of the most played of that lot because i’m dumb and i like dumb things. It was her birthday yesterday. I should get her to write today’s song as a guest columnist. I never have known [...]
Rehabilitated

Rehabilitated – Riverdales It was my mother’s birthday yesterday and this thing here was dutifully put aside for it. Rehabilitated by the Riverdales was the song at its beginning. The weakest falsetto vocals ever end this song.
Eulalia, Eulalia

Eulalia, Eulalia – Braid In the Braid video, this song is used to soundtrack a photograph montage scene towards the end. Photos of Braid throughout their career, live and promotional, set to one of my favourite songs. It’s about this time it all becomes too much for me and i’m despondent, crippled in loss, ineffect [...]
Fertile Crescent

Fertile Crescent – Great Plains I like to think that this song exists for two reasons: 1) To have a slower song in their repertoire, and 2) to have an excuse to use the wet-finger-on-rim-of-a-crystal-glass effect on the organist’s organ. Or a third: Great Plains had such a beautiful, dreamlike song in them so they [...]
Gettin’ Air

Gettin’ air – Chixdiggit! Yes, getting air. When was the last time anyone even said that? Even in 1998. Snowboarders, maybe. Secluded on top of their mountains, it can leave them a little backward in developments regarding acceptable hip speak. I think that’s a problem shared among the imitativeness of every other “extreme” “sport” that [...]
Loveless Love

Loveless love – The Field Mice The Feelies Mice. The Fieldies. This is a really good cover of an in the first place incredible song. The Field Mice very much make it their own, eschewing the arpeggio outro and other guitar sophistry not becoming them, and replacing the franticness of the Feelies with their own [...]
Premio De Consolación

Premio de consolación – Vacaciones The melody is already plainly perfect, so how do Vacaciones make it even better? Through structure. Trimming everything inessential to keep nothing but perfection falling upon our ears. It’s like the movie Breathless in song form. Jump cuts. The way it jumps right halfway from the first turnaround of the [...]
The Mr. Men Show Theme Song

The Mr. Men Show theme song – Jared Farber The more recent, UPA-influenced one, not the one i knew as a kid. Fairly divorced from the original books (and perhaps original vision of Roger Heargraves), it’s still a good show and cheers me up before i have to go to work. I think i would [...]
Hell On Wheels

Hell on wheels – Fu Manchu This song and band will be forever linked to those school holidays where all my friends went to the Offshore(?) festival in Victoria, had a whale of a time, had all kinds of age-appropriate experiences, and brought back so many road stories, new bands to like, and merchandise. Meanwhile [...]
