New Order | “Regret” (1993) I needed some early 90’s New Order today. So the “Republic” album it is.

🎧 Yazoo’s “Nobody’s Diary” (1983) 🎧
I have been going crazy wanting to listen to the great Alison Moyet’s voice lately. There are just no female singers like here today in pop music.
🎧 Across The Universe Soundtrack (Deluxe Edition) 2007 🎧
I very much love the Julie Taymor film Across The Universe. I think it did a remarkable job of incorporating and weaving Beatles’ songs into the fabric of the story, which more or less come from the lyrics. Many of the song renditions are excellent, and Jim Sturgess’ vocals hit me in the feels on…
🎧 Erasure’s “Amor Y Odio” 🎧
Amor Y Odio, the Spanish release of Love To Hate You is fantastic because it deviates completely lyrically from the English release. The lyrics are so damn different. There are no dolphin smiles in the English version. It definitely has to be a major pain in the ass if you want to redo a song…
🎧 Erasure’s “Love To Hate You” (The EIS Christmas Concert 2002) 🎧
Love To Hate You, along with Always, are my favorite Erasure songs.
🎧 The Shins – “Sleeping Lessons (Live On Letterman)” 🎧

🎧 Sufjan Stevens – “Illinoise” (2005) 🎧
Yeah. I’m listening to it again. It is such a fine album. So perfect to work to. And perhaps this perfection will rub off on this 4th draft of my video essay script I’m working on this morning.
🎧 Adolescent Dreams’ 2025 song “We Lie Apart” 🎧
I recently discovered Adolescent Dreams (aka Mikey Gomez) and have totally fallen in love with this music. For me, he’s like some of my melding of many of my favorite musicians. Like taking Galaxie 500, Ben Gibbard, Nick Drake, and a few others are having an orgy and I was invited to listen. Yeah… that…
☀ Nala’s Song of The Day ☀
The Postal Service | Sleeping In (Live From The Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA) (2013) An amazing live performance of Sleeping In.
🎧 Death Cab for Cutie’s 2003 album “Transatlanticism” 🎧
I needed some DCFC from the aughts this morning!
