James Yorkston, Nina Persson & The Secondhand Orchestra – Hold Out For Love

Not my favorite song from the album but probably my favorite album of the year so far. You may know Nina Perrson from the Cardigans, Soundtrack of Our Lives, A Camp, or being indie Tammy Wynette. She is one of my favorite singers and unsurprisingly she offers some wonderful harmonies here.

Kelly Buchanan – I Hate To See You Like This

Being funny when writing a song is really hard.  Times and tastes change and sometimes a joke isn't funny the 30th time you have heard it.

My two favorite songwriters who are consistently funny are  John Prine and the Fountains of Wayne team of Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood.

Adam passed on pretty early on in 2020 from Covid, much like Prine. This recording was from a tribute done in 2021.  There is a certain weight to the performance given the reason for the show but I love the way Buchannan belts this out.  Great tune, great performance.

Spiritualized – The Mainline Song

When I was younger I was always talking to the older guys to get turned onto music I hadn't heard before.   Sometimes the suggestions spoke to me, sometimes they didn't.   I don't know if that you just cant understand bands like My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab, or Spiritualized when you are 23 or if I just didn't yet know how to appreciate the subtle melodies.  Either way, sorry it took me so long Snackboy and Coach.  Those bands all rule.  Spiritualized is still putting out great stuff to this day as shown below.
