Mull Historical Society, “The Supermarket Strikes Back” (2003)

I can usually explain why I love a song, because I’m a nerd like that. This one, though? It’s catchy, emotional, but…I still can’t pinpoint exactly why I love it so much. And I love it so much.

Elvis Costello & The Attractions, “The Greatest Thing” (1983)

Among my friends, Elvis Costello is a given, and it’s always a little sad that more people don’t know more of his music.

Mojave 3, “Where Is The Love” (1996)

I love being reminded how lovely this is.

Saint Etienne, “Preflyte” (2024)

I’m both admiring and distanced by Saint Etienne’s easing into ambient pop, but every now and then, their pure pop instincts show up again.

Santigold, “Can’t Get Enough Of Myself” (2016)

How was this not a world-beating, ubiquitous hit? How is it not even in her top 10 most streamed songs?!!
