Easily one of my albums of the year.

My post-punk exploration is paying off... Jefferson Starship's "Jane" popped up randomly (nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition):

Gloriously messy in the best way.

Great version of great, great song.

A pretty song.  Inspired by Orlando, but my posting of it is inspired by more recent events.  I'm not one who prays, but it still helps express the exasperation I feel.

And this, less pretty, more cathartic song:

 

[Hopstretch]

No idea where this memory surfaced from ...

Like this much better live than on the record.

New album next week, produced by Jack Antonoff (Bleachers). I am hyped!

I wasn't a fan before, but this sounds great.  Did I miss something?  I.E. does anything else of hers sound like this?  I'll have to check out her back (ahem) catalog, but this is an instapurchase.

Nate, others:  RIYL Goldfrapp

[Hopstretch]

This is a bit of a departure. She's almost willfully eclectic but definitely worth checking out the prior output. Has real guitar chops too which should interest you?

[Hopstretch]

Antonoff is just killing it at the moment. He also co-wrote and produced Lorde's Melodrama.

And his own output is just as good, in my opinion, which is pretty rare.

 

[Hopstretch]

This is a solid nostalgia hit. Although I wasn't moved quite as much as some of the ladies (of a certain age) in the audience ...

This band has clearly listened to a LOT of Talk Talk. NTTAWWT.

 

[Dusty Chalk]

<3 so much.

Our heroine, Camille, is still producing interesting music.  This one puts me in mind of some of Kate Bush's more mature moments:

Panoramic views of Manchester ...

 

[Hopstretch]

Bay Area air quality ...

Ah the English sea shore. Miss it ...

Woke up today with this forgotten single playing in my head:
