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.
🎧 Electronic – | “Disappointed” (1992) 🎧
PSB, New Order, and Electronic are some of my favorite synthpop/alt bands, and yet I for some reason have never seen this music video to Disappointed. This is probably the most Pet Shop Boys-ish Electronic song, even if Neil Tennant was not providing main vocals. Electronic #music #musicvideo
🎧 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)” 🎧
Who is one of the best song lyricists out there the past 25 years and why is it James Mercer? Go without‘Til the need seeps inYou’re low, anymoreCollect your novel petals for the stemAnd glowGlowMelt and flowEviscerate your fragile frameAnd spill it out on the ragged floorA thousand different versions of yourself And if the…
🎧 XTC – “Sacrificial Bonfire” 🎧
One of my favorite songs. With some of my favorite use of string instruments in a rock song. Assembled on high, silhouette against the skyThe smoke prayed and pranced, and sparks did their dance in the windDisguises wore thin with less and less skinAnd the clothes that were draped was all that told man from…
🎧 U2 – “Zooropa” 🎧
1993’s album Zooropa is really the last time I actively listened to U2. I love their 80s stuff up to this album. Then they lost me. But then again, I had started to become a different person. This song though. This song rocks the balls. The slow opening… that piano… that guitar… that feedback… makes…
📼 Nala’s Music Video of The Day 📼
Everything But The Girl | Missing (Todd Terry Remix) (1994) There were a shit-ton of remixes of Missing back in the day. I think this one remains my favorite.
🎧 Pet Shop Boys’ 1990 song “Miserablism” 🎧
🎧 Pet Shop Boys’ 1990 song “Miserablism” 🎧 I could definitely say that the philosophy of Miserablism guided me from my late teens to late 20s. In fact, I think in many ways, it is a philosophy that many post-larval humans go through as we try to figure out shit out as our primate brains…
