| Hooked On Polkas "Weird Al" Yankovic |
One of the few polka medleys I grew up with but didn't have in my collection! My mom bought me a book going over all of his songs... |
|
| Effortless Elegance Keith Mansfield, Alessandro Rizzo & Elliot Ireland |
Funky little background piece I think they use in one of the Saints Row games. |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | This Year The Mountain Goats |
"I am going to make it through this year if it kills me..." via this tumblr post |
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Twister "Weird Al" Yankovic |
Weird Al Beastie Boy pastiche. Brings me right back to summer camp when I played this tape again and again in my walkman. |
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | That's the Way It Is Daniel Lanois |
Melancholy Cowboy song from "Red Dead Redemption 2" |
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Champage Liz & Lisa |
Wistful late 80s indie. Like almost a decade or so ago Amber mentioned not being able to find this one song "Chamapagne" on an old Lisa Loeb tape from 1989, but now it's here on Youtube, and I ripped it as an mp3. |
| I Don't Want to Miss a Thing (Acoustic Version) Karizma Duo |
Nice cover of a cheesy song. Hunted around on iTunes for a more palatable cover that caught the grace of it, after seeing it in Saints Row or something. |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | The devil wap down to Georgia Dj Cummerbund |
Crazy mashup Some of these mashups are doing interesting tricks to make the vocalist sound like they're changing the words (like it opens with the guy saying "devil wap down to Georgia"?) |
| Walk on the Wild Side Suzanne Vega |
Cover. I was wondering "huh, what is Suzanne Vega doing these days. |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Wellerman The Longest Johns |
Sea Shanty (unless your pedantic on wikipedia, then it's a "whaling song") making the rounds... Guess I saw the same aux cord video other folks did. |
| Da Doo Ron Ron The Crystals |
Wall of sound at its best. RIP Phil Spector. |
|
| You, Dear Eloise |
Modern torch song. Random spotify recommendation, I think looking for makeout music. |
|
| Burn Ray LaMontagne |
Folk tinged smokey song. Melissa likes this one. |
|
| Too Repressed Sometymes Why |
Very blunt folk. ("I want to f*** you, but I'm too repressed...") That Spotify playlist. |
|
| New York's My Home Shirley Horn |
Love song to NYC. The Fran Lebowitz thing on Netflix had a different version of this song. |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Revelry The Careful Ones |
Indie sounding pop. I just dig that sharp, high contrast percussion. That Spotify playlist. |
Everyone talks about how 2×2 and 2+2=4 but nobody talks about how 3×2×1 and 3+2+1=6
