Not Guilty, Just Pleasure Friday - Alone

Every once in a while, well probably more often than once in a while, I find a song I cannot stop listening to.  Just that one song.  On repeat.  Maybe for a half a day, maybe for a couple of days.  Depends on the song, depends on my moon.

Alone, by Stars from their most recent album, "There Is No Love In Fluorescent Light" is one of those songs, or has been for me the last couple of days.

It reminds me a little bit of Squeeze but it's still very Stars-y.  I just like everything about it.  I always have been a big fan of the lyrics of Stars songs.  I particularly like what is essentially the last line of the song, "don't make me need you when I come this far alone."

Have a listen and let me know what you think.  I'm interested to see if it gets into your head too lovelies xoxo 

Not Guilty, Just Pleasure Friday - Fool If You Think It's Over

So I've been rethinking this whole Guilty Pleasure thing.  I'm going to switch it up a bit (and perhaps occasionally post a song which truly is a guilty pleasure) and instead, post songs on Friday that I just really like. 

Going to start this off with Chris Rea's "Fool If You Think It's Over."  I remember hearing this on the radio when I was a kid and I have always liked it.  I love his voice (one of my all time favourite Christmas songs is "Driving Home For Christmas") and I'll always stop and listen whenever I hear this song.

Hope you enjoy it as much I do sweeties xo

Oh, I Feel Fine

It's sunny outside, and it's Friday.  These are two wonderful facts.

Another wonderful fact is that the Polyphonic Spree are releasing a new album in 2013.  I think that they are amazing.  If you think that they are amazing too, or if you just think "hey, I like them, I'd like to hear their new album" why not check out their kickstarter project.

I don't normally do things like this but I backed their project because I know I'm going to buy their live CD when it comes AND I'll buy their forthcoming DVD and you KNOW I'll be buying their new album so, instead of waiting until spring, I have pledged to give them my money now and it'll help them finish up their projects and finance a tour. 

If you haven't seen them live, it's a sight to behold.  I would say that it is a unique musical experience which cannot really be described.  Having said that, if you watch the video (above) for "Oh, I Feel Fine" you'll witness Tim DeLaughter trying to explain it to Abby the Beagle.

Happy Friday.
