Paw – Jessie

In the first half of the 90's I learned I liked music. Like really liked music. So, yeah, I'm a grunge child.

I "discovered" Paw from a Road Rash video game soundtrack of all things. Remember "discovering" bands? I always felt such ownership of the bands I liked back then.

I think "Jessie" was their highest-charting tune, which means it probably didn't chart at all.

Did you know I started dating my wife in 8th grade? And her name is Jesse? She has really never appreciated my love of this song.

D’Angelo with David Sanborn & Friends – Use Me

When considering a theme for my guest stint as WGOM DJ I couldn't help but go back to my own blog from years ago. About the time I found the old SBG haunt (what, a decade ago?), I was blogging like a twenty-something. One thing I liked to do every week was share a video that had grabbed my attention.

So here it is – bjhess guest DJ week. No theme. Just videos inspired by or from the archive of bjhess.com/blog.

Julia Holter – City Appearing

Ed: Many thanks to Zack for a kickass week. It was so good, the painter wanted to pay tribute, which we will happily tag on.

The most romantic song about a nightclub fire as you'll ever hear. KEXP, 2012.

Ms. Holter is indescribable. Avant Garde? Classical? Pop? Ambient? I dunno. Just call her brilliant.
And because she can't be pigeonholed: Continue reading Julia Holter – City Appearing

Brenda Weiler – Trickle Down

If Hammerhead is my favorite music act to ever come from Fargo, I suppose Brenda Weiler is my second. I had the hugest of crushes on her in high school. I can't remember who told me to listen to her, but she was way outside of what I normally listened to. I just loved her voice, and for whatever reason was thinking about her tonight. I guess she runs a yoga studio downtown now? Anyway, here's a recent recording of her playing the eponymous song from her first record.

Miyazono Kaori – Beethoven Sonata No.9 Op.47 “Kreutzer”

I mentioned in Movie Day that the finale of the anime Your Lie in April started streaming on Thursday so I watched it. The ending was about what I expected, and the show stuck the landing. One of the best shows I've watched in year. Anyway, in honor of that, here's Kaori's first performance from the show, "Kreutzer."

Colleen Green – Pay Attention

So, my obsession with Colleen Green's new album I Want To Grow Up is quite strong. It's a really awesome power pop album full of songs that I relate to. I am freaking out since exactly four weeks from tonight she's going to be playing here at a skate park thing or something. We're not quite a quarter of the way through the year yet, but I'd be shocked if this falls out of my top 10. Anyway, this is "Pay Attention."
