Gossip – "Listen Up" (2006)

2010/07/03
Unlike

listen up the weekend is here
doesn't matter whether you dance
or sit back and open a beer
good times for you given the chance

…oh and those aren't song lyrics, just a little poem I wrote to celebrate the long weekend! The bass in this song rocks, doesn't it?

Peter Murphy – "I'll Fall with Your Knife" (1995)

2010/06/21
Unlike

I LOVE this song. It is an epic ballad of love and devotion. I hadn't heard it in years and years, and then it was on the radio randomly and it almost brought a tear to my eye.

Well if the birds
can reach the sky
to this land
I'll be with you
till the sun bursts from your side
with my hands
I'll reach to you
when you think your chance is passing by
when you blow your moon away
I'll bleed like the reed
fall with your knife
it's here I'll be with you

New Order – "True Faith" (1987)

2010/05/27
Unlike

A favorite from New Order…

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty

….

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear

Billy Idol – "Dancing With Myself" (1981)

2010/04/30
Unlike

It has been a good week. My mind just feels like dancing, and it is Friday to boot!

PS: Although originally released in 1981 by the band Billy Idol was a part of before going solo, Generation X, Billy Idol's solo and slightly more pop version/cover made this song a hit.

Joy Division – "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (1980)

2010/03/31
Unlike

I hear this song everywhere. It comes up a lot. I'm sure the drama of singer Ian Curtis's suicide shortly after the release propelled it some. I'd like to think that it also fueled the fire for the rest of them to carry on as New Order. A classic in my book and yet I discovered The Illustrious G was really not familiar with it. Shocking!

As a fan of the mashup, I must also provide you a link to Dsico's "Love Will Freak Us", a combination of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" with Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On". Mashups are all the more fun when you know both songs of course, so here is a link to "Get Ur Freak On".

Album of the Week: The Cure – "Disintegration" (1989)

2010/01/31
Unlike

Track 4: Lovesong:

The Cure's "Disintegration" is the all purpose album for those in the dumps. Regardless of your source of solace or depression, whether it be loss of love, self-esteem, hope, or worse, you will find a companion in "Disintegration". It is better to embrace the gloom to work through it and to put your focus on a movie or an album, than your own life sometimes. If not now, it will happen in the future. When it does, you can pull this one off the shelf and let The Cure heal your wounded soul as a sympathetic presence.

Here are my 5 favorites from the album, with "Lovesong" being my favorite.

Track 1: Plainsong

Track 2: Pictures of You

Track 4: Lovesong

Track 6: Lullaby

Track 10: Disintegration

The Psychedelic Furs – "Love My Way" (1982)

2009/12/05
Unlike

Today is December 5th and I know that means I'm supposed to be feeling all excited about the holidays… Christmas in particular. I kind of feel like I'm just going through the motions at the moment. I'm oddly more excited about the chill in the air, and frozen puddles on the pavement as I walk under a gray sky. It is not the holidays I feel anticipation for, but rather some real snow. Sure we have awoken to a blanket, but nothing lasting. The change of the season, and perhaps even the coming of a new decade, seem more exciting. It will not be a total rebirth or anything, but perhaps a new way?

Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes

Swallow all your tears my love
And put on your new face
You can never win or lose
If you don't run the race
