Year: 2020
Jon Batiste – What A Wonderful World
Kanno Yoko/Scott Matthew – Dear John
Unironically one of my favourite rock songs of 2004.
Orkestra Obsolete – Blue Monday
A phenomenal cover of New Order’s Blue Monday with 1930s instruments.
The original un-colourised version was recently uploaded by the man behind the Orkestra Obsolete Angus McIntyre to his YouTube channel.
BAND-MAID – onset (live)
God DAMN that bassist is amazing.
Pic of the Day – Fullmetal Alchemist
Rick Astley – Everlong
A music icon from my childhood meets another from early adulthood.
Everlong is probably one of my favourite songs. Rick covers it mostly straight. Great stuff, does it justice.
Stone Temple Pilots – Interstate Love Song on the Howard Stern Show (2000)
Pic of the Day – Sailormoon2077
Holo-twintails.
Pearl Jam – W.M.A.
Something topical.
I did not understand the song when I first heard it, more than 20 years ago. As part of the majority race in my country, I arguably still don’t but I can at least try to see and recognise inequality and injustice.
