Spotify told me I would like this song, turn out it was right.
Pretty uncanny if you ask me


I LOVE THIS SONG

David Bowie - I'm Afraid of Americans

I was never hugely into Bowie's music, but man, I listened to this song over and over and over in high school. Good times....

Continuing with Bowie - I never liked his music, but somehow this track managed to get stuck inside my brain recently:


It's the main theme of "When The Wind Blows", a post-apocalyptic drama from 1986 deceptively disguised as a cutesy cartoon. It's about an old retired English couple living somewhere in rural Sussex who struggle to survive in the aftermath of the nuclear war that wiped out England and the rest of the world.

From what I've read on the Internet, many parents and school teachers in Britain were fooled by Raymond Briggs's art style and thought it would be a nice thing for children to watch, with rather predictable results in the end.

It's not the most harrowing nuclear war film of the 80s, though - that title deservedly belongs to BBC's "Threads"; a film so nightmarish, it wasn't shown again for 19 years, and all of that in spite of being done on a shoestring - the budget was less than 500k $.

Back to the music, here's something more light-hearted:

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Enola Gay

Great Big Sea's "End of the World" seems like a good way to open my morning today. < 3 This song makes me feel so nostalgic, aaaah.

Because today I need something light and cheery.  Also, this is what was on TV when I was a kid.  Explains a lot, doesn't it?

urbicande I love that song! Very cheery, and I hadn't seen that video before.

So...I really love this song, but the official video is pretty weird. So here's a non-official video with just the album cover:

Nostalgia indeed! That reminded me of their Run Runaway which I was then surprised to discover is a cover of Slade.

For extra poignancy, the dog in the video reminds me strongly of Cthulhund in the earlier chapter.

Mumford & Sons - Not in Nottingham (cover)

I was such a fan of Disney's Robin Hood when I was a kid (still am, actually), and this is such a good cover of that song, ahhh ;;

This is my favorite version of this song! I used to listen to it whenever I needed to feel sad, heh.

I really really like folk music, and right now I've been discovering some french-canadian indie folk stuff on spotify and I love it.

Here is one that I am especially fond of:




And this one is also good, but it's more rocky than the folk music stuff
