Songs You Came Across On Some Streaming Service And Thought Your Head-Case Buds Might Enjoy Too. No Critical Endorsement Implied. Fuck Vevo etc.

Wu Fei & Abigail Washburn

I don't know how this escaped my notice in February, but I'm a sucker for Chinese stringed instruments in old time bands.

Just in case you need a Rush overture for your day..  intro to Spirit of Radio.

Musicians having fun

Was listening to this tonight and it occurred to me to hope another actual civil war will not be necessary.

 

[Voltron]

Let's fucking hope not. 

[Hopstretch]

This has pretty much everything I'm looking for.

I can't stop listening to this stream, especially the song "Shu!", which starts around 13:56 and goes for about 8 minutes.  But the whole thing is laid back sublime dancey grooviness.

Unholy carp!  1/2 hour of some great lap steel playing:

 

[HiWire]

Driver's Seat – Sniff 'n' the Tears

It's hard to imagine who went: "What this extended edition really needs is a bunch of solo clarinet!" But God bless him (would definitely have been a him in the '80s).

Can you really call it an intro if it takes up an entire side of an album? 

I've not heard this extended mix, but I've been a huge fan of Soft Cell since the early 80's. My Father hated it when I'd play 'Sex Dwarf' at a high volume.

I had a dance completely coriographed to 'Tainted Love'.

Hmmm, I just realized that maybe I wasn't as straight appearing as I thought I was.

It's not exactly "a song" but it's something you might enjoy. Good for a whole Xmas eve dinner

Another year where this is my favorite modern holiday song.

Sounds like Depeche Mode

Sometimes music pops into my head for no reason – I credit Girl Talk for singlehandedly informing most of my 80s (and 90s-early 2000s hip-hop) pop-listening habits in the last decade:

One of my favorite songs and I really like the cover.

Thanks for posting that.  I’m a huge Fiona Apple fan, but for some reason hadn’t heard it.  What’s amazing about it is that she doesn’t lose the Waterboys-ness of it, while at the same time making it recognizably her.

I'm really enjoying the singles coming out ahead of Anneke's upcoming album, in a I-want-to-cover-them kind of way:

Another long lost 2001 track. I can’t believe Kubrick choose not to use.
