| We're Stupid Say What? |
Terrible Christian Rap from the 90s. My dormmate Chris could still quote it in recent correspondence, to my consternation ("We're stupid fresh, fly and def, funky hype homeboys") |
|
| Rocket Queen Guns N' Roses |
I don't have much G-N-F'N-R... some place I read that the passionate moans were actually semi-authentic? So I was curious how it worked within a song. |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | These Are Days 10,000 Maniacs |
Interesting paeon to youthful sensuality and motherhood, I think I only had that one MTV unplugged version. |
| Expert in a Dying Field The Beths |
I love VRTY's quote "As a librarian, I feel this song haha", though maybe it's more about losing love.... |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Beer Run Todd Snider |
Friends at PPLM weekend cited it as we made our own beer run...
"Be -double E double are you-N-beer run / All we need is a ten and five-er, / Car and key and a sober driver" - catchy! |
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Counteraction Cornershop |
Sitar etc in this cool little number. |
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | All Summer Long Kid Rock |
Kid Rock is reprehensible in a lot of ways, but this song (sampling Werewolves of London and Sweet Home) with its weird nostalgic tip is great, though I found out it from Cracked making fun of it for the rhyme "And we were trying different things / We were smoking funny things" |
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Platinum Richard Jacques, henry parsley & Louis Edwards |
used for the end credits of this Handspring documentary, it might be very studio but it sounds so good, great percussion and horns. |
| Blues & The Abstract Truth Oliver Nelson |
I don't love jazz, but I love this title, mentioned on "Strong Songs" |
|
| Le téléfon Nino Ferrer |
Goofy French comedy song, via this tumblr post |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Caught Up Usher |
Really like the sound of this "Neo-Soul", playing at the Moxy Hotel in Boston |
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Visions of Gideon Sufjan Stevens |
from the movie "Call Me By Your Name", so lovely and sad. |
| Sanctus Missa Luba |
A Christian spiritual sung by Africans, from a book "The Works of His Hands: A Scientist's Journey from Atheism to Faith" |
|
| Haus of Holbein SIX |
Funny stage musical song, I think I like the accents, from this tiktok |
|
| Prayer in C (Robin Schulz Radio Edit) Lilly Wood & The Prick & Robin Schulz |
One of the most shazamed songs. Not bad recent pop. |
|
| Copacabana Herb Alpert |
Popped up as an earwig, I dig the big box percussion and crowd vocals in this one. |
|
| Are You Washed In the Blood Alan Jackson |
Sometimes old Salvation Army songs pop up for me as earwigs... I like this folksy version though it ends abruptly (and man, "washed in the blood of the lamb" is just a weird image, even if it's meant to be a like a super-duper soul detergent.) |
