Today's delight is musical. This is my muxtape...
- Archers of Loaf, "Web in Front." Circa late 1994, Spiro and I drove around listening to this, and I've always loved the lines "There's a chance that things could get weird/Yeah it's a possibility."
- Love of Diagrams, "The Pyramid." Thanks to the fabulous Princeton station, WPRB, I am not a total musical outcast. This Australian band knocked my socks off this fall.
- Polara, "Letter Bomb." Another 1994ish era album from a Minneapolis band. I used to buy cappuccino from one of the members.
- Radiohead, "Headmaster Ritual." In November, Radiohead covered two songs as a part of their webcast. Though I'm not a huge Radiohead fan, this cover blew me away because of its tightness and fidelity to the original, down to detail.
- Radiohead, "Ceremony." One of my dearest, most favorite Joy Division/New Order songs -- I love covers of it (the one by Galaxie 500 comes to mind). This is from the aforementioned webcast.
- Look Blue Go Purple, "In Your Favour." Look Blue Go Purple is a nearly-forgotten New Zealand all-girl band that played around 1987 or so. A friend who worked at Flying Nun sent this to me a few years ago and I still listen to it several times a week.
- Confetti, "Corduroy." This is a cover of the Wedding Present's song on their album Dalliance (which incidentally was produced by Steve Albini and recorded in Minnesota in 1991). This cover haunts, the original stings.
- Peter Murphy, "Cuts You Up." This just seemed to fit.
- Of Montreal, "Forecast Fascist Future (IQU remix)." Last year, I became aware of this song when Mark Gage used it in his entry for the PS 1 competition.
- Baby Flamehead, "Amy." One of the very first bands I interviewed, Baby Flamehead hailed from Philadelphia. My friendship with my best friend, Jenn, was clinched in Montpellier, France, thanks to this song. We stood in the Place de la Comédie and sang and danced to it -- Jenn is from Philly and thus knew who they were.
