YoungBlood – Naked and Famous (cover)

Photo by WonderlaneThis is a year old? Hey, I still discover music from 10 years ago! You all are just lucky, I haven’t put up any Foster the People … yet.. :)

Here’s a good slower cover by Birdy:

Colours (Xaphoon Jones MEGA EDIT)

I just came across this song on Hype Machine. My wife says it’s on the alternative station a lot. But, I don’t know anything about that because I’m over 40 and haven’t listened to commercial radio in years. So I have no idea which songs are on constant rotation and which are new. I hear music when I hear music and that’s it!

Anyhow, it’s good. So plug in your hearings aids and enjoy!

Kate Nash – Foundations

A great song about bad relationships by Kate Nash. There a certain meanness and spite which I can relate to, and regret. I guess I like country music just fine (so long as it’s British).

Kate Rusby – The Unquiet Grave

A sad and wonderful song

Bear McCreary – Kara Remembers

Bear McCreary accordion version of “Prelude to War” (it’s good! it’s good!) got me searching for his other work. Here’s “Kara Remembers.” Listening to this got me watching the first season of Battlestar Galactica streaming on Netflix.

Jump with Joey – “Shot in the Dark”

I love the transition from “Pink Panther” to “Gilligan’s Island.”

Erasure – Always

One of my favorite songs.

House of Love – Christine

This came on the iPod while I was shredding old records. Good stuff! Dang, 1988: junior year of high school(!)

Brian Ferry – Roxy Music – Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall

I have no idea why Roxy Music fell into the oubliette. Perhaps it was before its time (and in 1977 a bit before my music listening time as well).
