An Endless Song
The ending to “Linda! Linda! Linda!” Exactly like “Lost My Music” from Live Alive. Another cover of The Blue Hearts. This one is “An Endless Song,” “Owaranai Uta.”
It’ll keep going and rocking in your head all week long…
Gravity’s Pull
R.E.M.
They are so 80s. So high school. So that time of my life. It reminds me of fall going into winter and having to do winter soccer. Being punk rock. Or being an outsider. What is it that Holden Caulfield said about all the phonies at his school?
It came out of nowhere
They reissued The Screaming Blue Messiah first two albums, Gun Shy and Bikini Red. If you need ’em, get ’em. I already have ’em. I wish I can get their third, Totally Religious. My brother’s got it store somewhere in his home. I was over there and he was trying to pawn off some mp3z his friend downloaded off the net and gave to him. Nope. I want all original pressings. Just for completeness sake.
As they’re kissing their hellos
That DNA remix of Suzanne Vega’s Tom’s Diner is about twenty years old. I heard it on the drive home Monday and was instantly transported back. That time of my life. So cherished. The winter of 1990. So fun. I can recall it like yesterday. The sights and sounds of The U, SRC, 4th floor with the guys. And that winter.
I am thinking of your voice…
The Russians Are Coming
I remember this old BBC show, “The Secret Life of Machines.” This was used as its theme song. Never new the name of the Dave Brubeck tune and that this was the reggae version.
Plenty cool to this version. Plenty cool.
Guns Don’t Argue
Yes, it’s ska again. I love it.
If you can find some more ska, please post it in the comments or over on your blog.
AFI’s 100 movie songs
I thought this would interest you: The American Film Institute has published its list of the top 100 movie songs. I thought that La Marseille should have been in there because of the way it was used in both Casablanca and Jean Renoir’s Grand Illusion. Of course the latter is French so I think that would exclude it from American movies.
