Magnetic Fields, “You And Me and the Moon” (1995)
Just perfect. It’s songs like this that made us so obsessed when 69 Love Songs was released.
Linda Martell, “Color Him Father” (1969)
Shame on me for not knowing this song earlier. Linda Martell was one of the few successful black women in country music, but if there was any justice (there is not), we would all know that already.
Biche & En Attendant Ana, “Americanism” (2025)
I really love En Attendant Ana, but love them even more when they sing in French.
Teenage Fanclub, “It’s All In My Mind” (2005)
Another one for the “Always liked them, but sometimes they suddenly blow me away” files. I really need better names for my files.
The Mighty Lemon Drops, “Beautiful Shame” (1989)
These guys were a name that always went by, but I’ve been loving them a lot more lately, and this track…how was this not an enduring alternative hit? HOW?!! I AM ASKING YOU SPECIFICALLY!!
