I think of many of the albums on today's selection as recent, but they're all from 2004. Hard to believe that they - and the ears listening to them - are twenty years older.
One of the things I love about posting a daily blog is that it inspires me to seek out new music as well as diving back into my collection, dusting off and (re)discovering albums, EPs and songs that I haven't heard in a long while. All of the selections today have been languishing too long and their parent albums and singles will be added to the Casa K playlist where I can enjoy them all over again.
1) This Is That New Song: Badly Drawn Boy (One Plus One Is One)
2) Hummingbird: Wilco (A Ghost Is Born)
3) Another Morning: American Music Club (Love Songs For Patriots)
4) Knees: Pony Club (Family Business)
5) Nimrod's Son (Cover of Pixies): Frank Black ft. Two Pale Boys (Frank Black Francis)
6) You Do (Cover of McAlmont & Butler): Claudia Brücken & Andrew Poppy (Another Language)
7) One Evening: Feist (Let It Die)
8) Stay Out Of Trouble: Kings Of Convenience (Riot On An Empty Street)
9) Cherry Blossom Girl (Cover of Air): Hope Sandoval (Cherry Blossom Girl EP)
10) Stop, Look & Listen: Belle & Sebastian (I'm A Cuckoo EP)
11) Sleepy California (Super Furry Animals Remix): Her Space Holiday (The Young Machines Remixed)
12) He Gave Us The Wine To Taste: Jonathan Richman (Not So Much To Be Loved As To Love)
20 years passes in the blink of an eye. These tracks all sound just as fresh and vivid as the day they were released.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mooz.
DeleteI was interested to read after the fact that the Belle & Sebastian was later split into two tracks on a compilation, the first half remaining Stop, Look & Listen, the second titled Passion Fruit.
As there was no gap between the two parts on the CD single, I've kept it as a single piece of music. I like the fact that it goes somewhere completely different in the second half.
