I dedicate tonight’s song of the night to this timeless classic. And to all the things that are not the shape of my heart. …and to the young Natalie Portman. And to Luc Besson. 🙂
Category: Song of the night
Song of the night #51 – The Cure – Plastic Passion
Song of the night #49 – Nina Simone – I hold no grudge
Song of the night #48 – Bloodgroup – Nothing is written in the stars
Smooth and mellow, to calm down the soul. Bloodgroup are based in Iceland. Video by Heiðrik á Heygum.
Song of the night #47 – …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead – Heart in the Hand of the Matter
“And this is where it began
Shot through a shattered lens
And there is virtue in loneliness
In vacant lots and florescent malls
In one room coffins and crowded halls
There is nothing to be done
We have lost all control
I walk in the shadows of your tortured realm”
Probably the best song of “the-band-with-the-super-long-name”‘s first album “Source tags and codes” with the gorgeous orange cover and the well-deserved full 10 from Pitchfork. Beautiful, dark and deep. Fuck you Kanye, this is better than your shit. 😛
Song of the night #46 – Blonde Redhead – Pier Paolo
From Blonde Redhead’s debut album “Fake can be just as good” – 1997
Song of the night #45 – Blur – The Universal
Well I arrived in Bulgaria yesterday. And now – while studying for exams and finishing my thesis about the Occupy Wall Street movement at late warm night I decided to try the Spotify radio station based on Radiohead. It’s full of gems and I highly recommend it to any quality alternative rock listener. Here is one of the songs it led me to. Oh, so sweet.
Celebrating 21 years Blur on #blur21 . What a great band!
Song of the night #44 – Trentemoller – Shades of Marble
Who needs vocals with an instrumental like that?
Also featured in a movie I love – “The skin I live in” by Pedro Almodovar.
Song of the night #43: Sonic Youth – Wish Fulfillment
Oh, “Dirty I love you”. Or “I love you dirty”.
Does it matter?
Song of the night: #42 Erykah Badu – No Love
Sixteen years after its release “Baduizm” by Erykah Badu still tastes so sweet.
