I enjoy taking this song literally. Also, there’s something about cheerleaders in gas masks that’s ineffably charming. They’re gonna clean up your looks With all the lies in the books To make a citizen out of you Because they sleep with a gun And keep an eye on you, son So they can watch all […]

I do not remember my adolescence being like this. But I don’t know. Maybe I’m wrong. Teenage dreams in a teenage circus Running around like a clown on purpose Staring at emotion In the light of day I was running from the things that you’d say Like a magpie I live for glitter, not you […]

I cannot help thinking of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens whenever I hear this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7XzMZAD0vc

I’m going to a concert this afternoon. It’s a super secret concert for super secret bands (at least, I assume that’s why I haven’t heard of them, it could just be due to that whole not-an-American thing). This song has nothing to do with that. It’s just next up in the playlist. A girl can […]

This one is not in the playlist, but as I went to Alice’s restaurant at the weekend, I thought I’d share this very important song with you. He said, “What were you arrested for, kid?” And I said, “Littering.” And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and […]

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 […]

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 […]
