To Everyone He Meets He Stays a Stranger

I’ve paired these two songs  together because it makes me laugh. Which is an excellent reason for doing almost anything. I found a bunch of different versions of ‘Sharp Dressed Man’ when I went looking. I expected James Bond (which would have been entirely appropriate in this context), and I also found Cary Grant and the original video clip (which is […]

Sharp as a Row Boat

Last night I went to see CCR* play. It was at the Mountain Winery in the Saratoga hills, which is an absolutely gorgeous venue. So much so that I sort of wanted to just stand around muttering, “Gee, it’s so pretty.” Instead I took dodgy photos with my phone while Arkem made remarks about how […]

You and Me, We’re Just Fine

This song has an eerie kind of way of creeping into your head and getting stuck there on a loop. I don’t really know what most of it means but the chorus line of, You and me, we’re just fine is lovely even if it’s the only part your understand.

This band does rock interpretations of folk songs and sea shanties and, well, they’re kind of awesome. I think “Here’s to the Gents and Ladies And the foolish times we spent They cost me Afterlife in Paradise And they were worth every single cent” …. I’ll dive right into damnation With a smile across my […]

Ooo Eee Ooo Ah Ah Ting Tang Walla Walla Bing Bang

You know how when you’re really little you think that your family is a template for the world? Like, this is how parents are, this is what ‘holiday’ means. But as you get older you realise that’s not true. You figure out the difference between family traditions and cultural traditions and even broader group behaviours. […]

I Hear the Voice of Rage and Ruin

I am going to see these guys play in a few weeks. Arkem says it would have been cooler to see them twenty five years ago. Which is true. Of course he was an infant then, so I’m not sure he would have appreciated it.    

A Distant Time, A Distant Space, That’s Where We’re Living

All the thoughts you never see / You are always thinking Look for love in evidence / That you’re worth keeping As far as I can tell there isn’t an official video clip for this song, but this one is sort of a love letter to the earth and includes a guy conducting the ocean. […]

And the Songs They Get Louder, Each One Better Than Before

and you’re singing the songs thinking this is the life and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size where you gonna go where you gonna sleep tonight If I had slept I might actually have something to say about this. As it is I am going to listen to […]

I Wanna Do Bad Things With You

If you read the lyrics of this song literally rather than metaphorically then you could consider this the running refrain of the main characters of Drink Me. It’s also the first of a long line of songs in this playlist that include the word ‘bad’ in the title.   Playlist link here.  

Let’s Sink Another Drink, Cause It’ll Give Me Time to Think

Turns out this song is really about how zombies aren’t actually after your brains, they just want to dance with you. At least that’s what I’m getting out of this video clip…   Playlist link here.
