A Song A Day


Hendo

I know what you mean. My choice isn't even 12 months older I don't think, yet it very much defines the era where all bands were dead keen on the synthesizer. I ages the hell out of some songs. Not that that is a bad thing.

Good pick though Hendo, I reckon you could pull it off with the band.

I'm a big fan of the Cardigans - an ex-girlfriend bought me Life ages ago and I have seen them a few times - the best at the first V festival when they were touring the First Band on the Moon album. It was a very 90s festival with Pulp and Elastica headlining :0 I also saw Menswear, Kula Shakur and this lot

you do realise she'll always blame herself

I used to fancy the shit out of Louise from Sleeper, I think it's her giant eyes. I don't like creepy Winton in that video though icon_uhoh.gif

It's a good song, I don't think I was old enough to appreciate it when it came out, so I never really took to Sleeper, but yeah I liked that. Very 90's, which isn't necessarily a bad thing

I've gone for the live version of Joga by Bjork, simply because the official version has a break in it that isn't all that

fucking Bjork man :o

I like Bjork, but she scares the fucking shit out of me. She makes 95% of all women look that soft auntie everyone has that's the nicest person in the world because she never shouts or gets angry. I often wonder if men (or indeed women in bjorks case) stay away because they know what a fucking handful they can be.

Sticking with the weirdo vibe, I give you the Maels.

Love that song! Ron Mael is a dude, bet he scared the crap out of 70's kids.

What the hell were they doing on a show about disco?!

I'm going with a contender for gayest song ever produced. It won't win that award, but it's up there.

I honestly never realised that was Depeche Mode. I don't dislike it, but it's very much of its time, and like you say, it's got a lot of baggage to it now that influences how you hear it

From the mighty Dead Man's Shoes

So what do I critique? I like that Carter USM song, it's just one of those high octane, anti-establishment songs, a bit tacky in delivery but ultimately fun.

I didn't like that second video one bit. She seems nice but unfortunately it's an uncultured twit like me doing the judging so she fails!!! :raspberry: But good luck to her.

I pick this *air drums*

Hmm, i didn't like that as much as I expected. It might be because it's outdoors and so has lost some of the weight in the high end. Also I don't know it so it's not as sing a long as some of their other stuff. Not bad or anything, and I can imagine it being fun on Rock Band, I also think I'd enjoy the album version more

Taken from the best album I heard last year (In The Aeroplane Over The Sky) but actually came out at some point in the 90s

I liked that, it's my kind of thing, but I was hoping for a full band to kick in, it didn't sound right having a song played like that with no drums and bass at least.

Found this on an NPR podcast - "Whale" by Yellow Ostrich. The rhythms are nuts after a while.
