spring songs #6+#7+#8
editors // papillon
“papillon” isn’t brandnew, the single was released last fall. anyway, the song reminds heavily of the 80s. and depeche mode. i’m neither a fan of depeche mode or 80s music. but fuck it - i think the song’s awesome! i love the beat and the voice fits it perfectly. and the video is kinda cool. guys running around without sweating (sic!??).
nirvana // jesus doesn’t want me for a sunbeam
nirvana will always have a special place in my heart. ugh! sounds pretty kitschy - but nevermind. i grew up with their music and i just love them very much. i know, you know that already - most of their songs are melancholic and somewhat depressing. BUT there’s this fantastic unplugged concert with this cute little song “jesus doesn’t want me for a sunbeam”. it’s a cover from the band the vaselines. and woah - this song always makes me smile. and i like how it sounds like an old sailor song.
the chemical brothers & q-tip // galvanize
when “galvanize” first came out as a single a couple of years ago, i absolutely loathed it. but a couple of weeks ago i re-listened to “push the button” (a great record, btw!) and “galvanize”. now, i really like it! the maroccian sound and q-tip’s voice are just great. i like the roughness of the song. also it would’ve been a perfect film song for movies like ghost dog or la haine.
