CHVRCHES, “Down Side of Me” (2015)
I had not listened to this in a long while, and that was a big mistake.
Hole, “Boys On The Radio” (1998)
It was really only Rob Harvilla’s repeated championing of this song that ever got me to listen. Thank God. Goddamn perfection right here.
Sparks, “All You Ever Think About Is Sex” (1983)
I’ve known this song for ages, but I’m just now coming around to it. There’s something totally unique about the subject phrasing that’s just that Sparks-flavored deliciousness. “All you ever think about is sex…alright with me.”
Meat Beat Manifesto, “Genocide” (1989)
Did I know that Meat Beat Manifesto could be this good? Apparently not.
My Morning Jacket, “Out In The Open” (2025)
Nothing wrong with this, I tell ya.
