New #2 – Avail I woke up New #2 instead. I think this song is actually about a long-distance relationship that doesn’t work, so there’s that. Like i need this. Sigh. Although i think maybe the relationship in the song wasn’t working well before the split, so i can divorce it from this experience on [...]

She’s A Lady

She’s a lady – Pulp This wasn’t the song in my head this morning. It was Henry’s Dress’ The Way She Goes, but i wanted to do something nice and honour the song that was in my girlfriend’s head for a change, as though to keep something of her here, to evince her wonderful, wonderful [...]
Rendez-Vous

Rendez-vous – Stéphanie Because she is leaving tomorrow and i’ve often asked her to do this for me, today’s special guest BLOGGGGGGGER is my girlfriend. It was her first time hearing it (i think) and it was under duress: “I don’t know! It’s a good song. La la la. Lalalalalala la la. I think we’re [...]
Gee

Gee – Girls’ Generation As if fulfilling a prophecy, following destiny to an inescapable end, this song is now my ring tone – something that caused no small amount of embarrassment when it went off while i was waiting in the Korean consulate office with my girlfriend last week.

Si Belle Et Inutile

Si belle et inutile – Lio This is one of the songs that was not re-recorded for Suite Sixteen, even though it is one her best. I don’t really mind though. The further in i sink, the more Suite Sixteen seems like a dispensable novelty. It was the first stuff of Lio’s i (and i [...]
The Almondy Many

The almondy many – Poundsign This song and the entire EP reminds me of the first time i finally made it up to a friend of mine’s bedroom after spending so much time relegated to other parts of his house. Going through his records – something i’d long wanted to do – being blown away [...]

Hip hip – Hurrah! It was record fair day today and, getting up at 6, spending the day away, this is a little late. A good day, but no Hurrah! records. It would been have high, foolish optimism to have expected them. As is becoming something of a tradition, here was today’s haul, all of [...]
Get Me

Get me – Dinosaur Jr. Tangentially related (no?! here?!), but i saw Sebadoh last Wednesday night and they were really good. I haven’t had my mind made up by that chapter in Our Band Could Be Your Life on which band i like more, but i think my endless support of the underdog may sway [...]

One&One – T-ara I was trying to write a post giving what i think is a fair reason for my recent turn to all things K-Pop (besides it’s innate charm and excellence), but everything i write is either too sadsacky, selfish, censored or just not good enough to honour that fair reason. Plainly speaking, my [...]
