Mystery Music

I have no clue how/when/why this got on my iPod or what other playlists it resides in (i’m listening to “fevrier 2006” right now), but “Listen to Your Heart” by D.H.T. is really rocking my world right now.

(In Concert:) Did I mention seeing Bob Mould on Friday night?

Altho he gave himself a bad review, I thought it was a great concert. (And also, I don’t know why he thought the crowd wasn’t into it. The people at the end of our row were rocking out so hard, our entire bench was vibrating the whole night.) Hearing him solo, in a tiny venue like that, you can really concentrate on the lyrics.

Also fun: trying to explain rock history to my cousin. “See, before Nirvana, and the whole Seattle scene, there was Minneapolis and garage rock and Husker Du…”

Dude.

Joshua Radin recorded a COVER of “Only You.” And it’s brilliant. It’s up on iTunes. GO!

Original by Yaz on “Upstairs at Eric’s” an album I used to listen to on the Jukebox while playing Mr. Do.

(During the same time period, I was once involved in a modern dance to this song. Which involved me being in black tights/leotard and a teal off shoulder sweatshirt. Damn. I was not only stylin’ in the ’80s, but I was also color coordinated. I’m sure I had on matching teal socks.)

What She Said!

Great blog post by Gina Frangello (found through Bookslut): Old men can grow enormous wings. She read in Chicago recently but because I was lame and tired and had some important things to do at home (where are my priorities) and didn’t feel like trekking up to Andersonville…yeah well I missed it.

And now I am sorely regretting that.

Girlie Tunes.

Normally I am all about the melancholy boys. But yesterday I got the new Beth Orton “Comfort of Strangers” and the finally-released-in-the-states KT Tunstall “Eye to the Telescope.” Add those to Cat Power and Jenny Lewis and it’s a very girlie month here in February, that it is.
