New Order | Temptation (1987) It looks like New Order dropped and actual music video to Temptation 26 years after the song was released. And not to my favorite mix either, but we can’t all have perfection all of the time. Up, down, turn aroundPlease don’t let me hit the groundTonight I think I’ll walk…

New Order | Your Silent Face (2009 Glasgow Performance) Your Silent Face from 1983’s Power Corruption and Lies is one of my many favorite New Order songs. This 2009 live performance is pretty decent. It isn’t like it is a high energy song in any way.
🎧 Vampire Weekend’s 2010 album “Contra” 🎧
Wow! Is Contra really 15 years old now? Damn am I getting old!!! I very muched like Vampire Weekend’s sophomore effort. It is one of those magic albums that I love every track on and typically listen from beginning to end. Oddly, I didn’t give much attention to albums past this one. I may have…
🎧 Sufjan Stevens’ 2015 album “Carrie & Lowell” 🎧
A great album.
🎧 Galaxie 500’s 1988 album “Today” 🎧
Today by Galaxie 500 is one of the first album’s I encountered in my life where I would clearly fall in love with the entire album from first track to last. I first encountered this on cassette when I schlepped coffee back in 1990. Not sure whose cassette it was, but it was in the…
🎧 The Cure’s 1989 album “Disintegration” 🎧
I do not fully agree with Kyle Broflovski that Disintegration is the best album ever. It is definitely up there with SOME of the best albums ever, that much is certain.
🎧 World Party’s 1993 album “Bang!” 🎧
It just felt like a morning to listen to “Bang!” Not sure why. It is one of my all-time favorite albums though.

New Order | “Ceremony” (1981) I think I still love the original the best.
🎧 Violent Femmes’ 1983 album “Violent Femmes” 🎧
Ok. Let’s talk about one of the greatest albums of all time. The Violent Femmes 1993 self-titled debut is an amazing raw and what I’d call a pretentious-free distillation of teen boy angst, given that lead singer/song-writer Gordon Gano was still in his teens when it was recorded. The record uses the barest of instruments,…

Erasure | Take A Chance On Me (1992) I love a good cover song. I especially love a good cover song when a band reinterprets a given piece of music in their very own style (i.e. Iron & Wine’s cover of The Postal Service’s “Such Great Heights”.) Erasure really knocked it out of the park…
