The New ****ographers - My Rights Versus Yours
Source: Pitchfork
- Now with New ****ographers, I have no reason to be excited about their new single, despite how calm their sound might be and how much I like their lyrics. I honestly have not heard enough stuff by them, and while I realize that, I continue to be lazy and here I am. Defending why I should not be enjoying this, haha.
Tegan and Sara - The Con
Source: Stereogum
- Tegan and Sara have a new single out! I think that is all that needs to be said, other than how I really do not have much to say, other than that it has been a while (as in years) since I heard something new by them. The nice thing is that it sounds like stuff from So Jealous but with something more to it. I am not quite sure, but I do think it would have worked as a song on So Jealous, their last album.
Six songs that I feel like mentioning (in addition to the previous songs):
There is something about these songs... darn them.Althea And Donna - Uptown Top Ranking
Album: Uptown Top Ranking | Year: 1977
- I said I would check out this classic, and I did! It was totally worth it. This definitely has the raggae feeling and the way the girls sang added to the effect! I am not sure if I like the cover more, because I could understand the cover more easily, but both are great.
Amy Winehouse - Hey Little Rich Girl
Album: Back To Black (CD single) | Year: 2007
- For some reason, all of her songs really take a long time to grow on me. Just when Rehab was growing on me, I found this, and somehow this grew on me much faster. I love the fun feel of this song and her voice is certainly interesting, in a good way.
Brand New - Jesus Christ
Album: The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me | Year: 2006
- I randomly like the stuff from Brand New, despite never being a huge fan of theirs. This song also took a while to grow on me, but the way certain parts of the chorus was emphasized was nice. It is just relaxing for some reason, and if not that, I enjoy singing those parts!
Fiction Plane - If Only
Album: Holes Soundtrack | Year: 2003
- I was so obsessed with this book back when I had to read it in middle school. I always imagined one of the famous lines to have this certain rhythm to it, and Fiction Plane got it almost exactly! It is insane, but they made this song based on exactly what was said in the book, and I just find that so interesting.
Natalie Cole - This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)
Album: Inseparable | Year: 1975
- I never truly realized how old this song was until now. Almost every romantic comedy I have seen has it and it is just a sweet song. It really fits in with almost all of them, except for Taxi, which was not a romantic comedy anyway. However, it was one of the reasons I could not stop playing it, because other than the sweet movies, hearing a guy singing that while trying to gain courage is definitely interesting, haha.
Queens of the Stone Age - Make It Wit Chu
Album: Era Vulgaris | Year: 2007
- Another song from the latest album! I am not sure why the chorus reminds me of another song, but it is definitely an interesting song. So far I like what I have heard of the album, so I cannot wait to fully check it out whenever I can!
Somehow this week ended up being really different too. Weird. It was totally worth it all though. Tomorrow morning will be worth it too, especially I end up having good conversations about books like The Gift of Fear and am enjoying great songs like these! Everyone, have a great weekend!
