It’s the future!

Lots of great White Album picks, but this is definitely in the top 5. Absolute classic.

And thank you for the excellent alternative to “grammar Nazi,” which I’d prefer to avoid!

Well played!

Lorelei—Cocteau Twins

Bonham playing with the Twins? Not quite, but they did use an E-mu Drumulator loaded with John Bonham drum samples on this album. I had no idea, but now I can definitely hear it!

Gepetto—Belly

I love the languid, beautiful vocals over the frantic guitars. I had forgotten about this song for a while, but it’s great to have it back in rotation! 💛

Goods (All in Your Head)—Mates of State

I dig their keyboards-and-drums setup, and the harmonies are catchy as hell.

The contest-winning fan-made video is fun, then sad, then "Fight Club" 📹

Oooh, I forgot about them! Have fun!

Petit Pays—Cesária Évora

I probably first heard Cesária on NPR, and that high, delicate cavaquinho strumming and her soothing voice grabbed me instantly.

It’s also great romantic dinner music. 🥂

Ghosts—Japan

This moody, intense meditation on panic attacks really grabbed me back in the day, with its marimbas and odd synth burbles. And it's such an unlikely hit, even for the UK!

I just realized he’s the lead singer when I posted this! I remember liking it too. Need to revisit!

A Million Miles Away—The Plimsouls

Power-pop surf jangle! Always a favorite of mine back in the day.

I’m a sucker for a wall of chimey guitars, and these are particularly excellent. 🎸🎸

Kentucky Avenue—Tom Waits

Another song that kills me. Such beautiful, affectionate music juxtaposed with the most hilarious childhood memories that actually make the song sweeter and more real.

Donny, you are out of your element.

Mass Romantic—The New Pornographers

My first New Pornographers tune, before I even knew power pop was a genre. I love the fuzzy guitars, the insane synth sound, and the gang vocals!

Hollywood Baby—100 gecs

Sure, setting off fireworks in your actual apartment seems like a great idea!

I love the hyperpop / alt-rock / electronic mix going on here. Fun tune with some cool textures!

Houses in Motion (2005 Remaster) YouTube video by Talking Heads - Topic

#ASongADay

Houses in Motion—Talking Heads

My favorite Talking Heads album. Love the angular artiness, the electro-African rhythms, the stream-of-consciousness lyrics, and Jon Hassell’s avant-garde trumpet. 😙🤌

The Verve - Lucky Man (Official Music Video) YouTube video by TheVerveVEVO

Lucky Man—The Verve

Richard Ashcroft wrote this as a celebration of “pure gratitude and love.” I’m feeling a bit of that myself, so this one fits. 🙏

The Promise—When In Rome

I have fond memories of this song, from earlier today in fact!

Funny coincidence: I also like telling crushes I’m going to make them fall for me.

White Punks on Dope—The Tubes

It’s so satisfying when the shuffle kicks in on the chorus! And I'm impressed they’re able to pull this off live, but there are like 40 of them.

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Christine YouTube video by SiouxsieBansheesVEVO

Christine—Siouxsie & the Banshees

My favorite Siouxsie album, because the instrumental parts are so unusual. They dimantled pop music and put it back together in their own strange and beautiful way.

The Hungry Wolf—X

This is one of the first albums I remember buying for myself, and it was because of this song. I’d never heard anything so predatory and menacing, and it was awesome!

SUGAR - If I Can't Change Your Mind YouTube video by shaxan

If I Can’t Change Your Mind—Sugar

Exquisite, joyful power pop about an impending breakup. The wall of guitars is about as jangly as you can get, and the euphoric energy is divine.

Intense, but also beautiful, hopeful, and true.

Love the Steve Reich-y piano and the live drums. Electronica played on mostly acoustic instruments!

Cupid—Sam Cooke

A perfect pop jewel: Latin sway, R&B groove, jazz swing, and a caramel voice floating over barely-there French horns and strings.

Timeless.
