Moody 1

So for a while I was compiling all these moody songs. It just seemed like they kept coming up and resonating with me, but I was in a space where I really didn't WANT moody songs, I wanted more exciting songs. Now that I'm in a place where I have more exciting songs, I'm ready to deal with the moody ones. 

There will be at least two of these (hence the "Moody 1"), so in Moody 1 we have: Blind Pilot with Look At Miss Ohio (Thanks to Julie for this. This song makes me weep for some reason.); Sharon Van Etten with One Day; and Oakley Hall with Angela. 

So go on and get in a mood. Grumble grumble. 

Drag, part 1

As I say, a few songs about or vaguely about or somehow weirdly associated in my mind with drag. 

We have: Magnetic Fields and Andrew in Drag (so sorry to miss them in Portland earlier this year!); Tear Me Down from Hedwig and the Angry Inch; The M's with Banishment of Love; and wrapping up with No-Fi Soul Rebellion and beautiful & hard. 

More coming, but that's what ya got for now. Got any favorite draggy songs? 

Don't burn the udon (part 2)

So here is the challenger lineup! And, I have to admit, I think this one wins. Maybe. Mine was pretty good. 

We have The Dead Weather and I Cut Like a Buffalo; Dave Matthews Band and Seven; and Spoon with Stay Don't Go. 

Damn! Looks like it burned. 

Don't burn the udon (part 1)

A podcast challenge inspired by cooking, part 1. My thought: needs to be songs that would actually make you not pay attention and end up burning the udon. 

So we have: Goldfrapp and Ooh La La; Self with Trunk Fulla Amps; and Architecture in Helsinki with Debbie. 

Not to be played while cooking! 

 

 

Harmonious discord

I'm not quite sure what that means - but maybe you'll understand as you listen. Musical discord, maybe, in some parts, and discord in the lyrics. Whatever. 

We start off with David Bowie and Breaking Glass; then on to Earlimart with All They Ever Do Is Talk; and wrap up with The Cardigans (last one for a while, I swear) with Starter. 

This one's worth turning up.
