One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands The Shins; as well as an amazing animated music video. 2012’s full Port of Morrow may need a revisit this week.

🎧 Depeche Mode’s 1985’s album “Catching Up With” 🎧
Yeah. It is a compilation album. So what. Bite me. Some early DM songs still sounds fresh and exciting. Some others didn’t age so well. Then again, everything on this album was released from 1981 to 1985 and that’s still fairly early in Brit-synth-pop. Some faves: “Just Can’t Get Enough” – I bet this would…
🎧 Death Cab for Cutie’s 2003 album “Transatlanticism” 🎧
I don’t know. I sat down at the computer and it just felt like I needed to listen to Transatlanticism. It is one of the great albums of the aughts. Yes. Death Cab for Cutie is probably my favorite band and have been for close to 20+ years now. And yes, this album packs more…
🎧 Arctic Monkeys’s 2006 album “Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not” 🎧
Such a great album. I recall reading that Alex Turner despises playing “I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor” but it is such a f’n balls rocking song!
🎧 Elliott Smith’s 1997 album “Either/Or” 🎧
It has become an Elliott Smith kind of afternoon.
🎧 Human Tetris’s 2025 album “Common Feeling” 🎧
Giving the recent Human Tetris album a spin today. Today’s bands I’m listening to all really align in terms of sound. I guess I’m having a very indie-synth-pop jones today.
🎧 Soviet Soviet’s 2013 album “Fate” 🎧
I very much love Italian band Soviet Soviet. Perfect for a Monday morning working remote from The Studio of Love™.
🖸 Favorite Nala Songs 🖸
You have to admit it… Barry Manilow’s Copacabana (At the Copa) (Long Version) is a damn great song. A banger so to speak. I am shocked nobody did an EDM cover in the 90’s. Give it a play. I dare you!
🎧 Currently Playing • Roar’s 2016 album “Impossible Animals” 🎧
Another new band, or should I saw single person project, I’ve recently discovered. Very much digging Owen Evans’ work.
🎧 Currently Playing • Sufjan Stevens’ 2003 album “Michigan” 🎧
Not quite up there with “Illinois” for me but a close second.
