Joni Mitchell - The Jungle Line
You know what? You just need to listen to this song. If M.I.A released this today it would be all you’d talk about and then once it because too big for its shoes and people covered it on YouTube it would be the most overrated track of the year and everyone would start hating it. But it’s not M.I.A, it’s not just been released, it’s a 30 year old song and it’s as relevant now as it ever was then so, internet, world, universe, pull your heads out of your Pitchforked arses and hit play. See? See?

“An American in London”
I’m actually laughing out loud.

Magic Dirt - She-Riff
Saw Magic Dirt last night at the Annandale. A few songs into the set they stopped playing and Adalita gave a little eulogy for their bassist, Dean, who passed away earlier in the year. It was sweet and moving and touching and we all raised our gig-safe beverage receptacles and then I looked at Adam the drummer who was hunched over his kit, sobbing. It ripped my guts out.
Then they played this song.
"Celebrities" on Twitter
I don’t follow many ‘celebs’ (in the Ashton and Demi sense) on twitter. More people (artists, musicians, actors) that I admire. Because twitter is twitter I’ll occasionally reply and stuff. I never care if they don’t reply, but when they do they always go up a little in my estimation. I want to thank them for taking 140 keystrokes out of their day to engage with some random guy on a computer on the other side of the planet who thinks you’re interesting enough to engage with in the first place.

Joni Mitchell - Raised on Robbery
Was trying to find the song that truly expressed why I’m suddenly gaga over the lady, but ‘Paprika Plains’ is too large a file for Tumblr, I’m concerned that ‘Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter’ and ‘The Jungle Line’ are only interesting if you’re already at least halfway a fan, so I’ve gone with one of her hits that isn’t ‘Big Yellow Taxi’ or ‘Both Sides Now’ or ‘The Circle Game’ or ‘Free Man In Paris’. Seriously, y’all, she had more than those songs you know.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Japancakes
originally by Cocteau Twins
(via jeffgiddens:whitneymcn)
Ooooh I’m so pleased with this. An incredibly competent cover of one of my Top 10 favourite Cocteau Twins songs. Incidentally the only other covers of Cocteau Twins songs I’ve heard are also songs that are in my top 10 (Cherry Coloured Funk and Seekers Who Are Lovers).
