Jason Mraz - Know.

An underrated album full of love songs.

Day 24: Bob Dylan’s Birthday

Bob is 79. Play something by him or something you think he’d like.

Legend has it that Bob likes Jimi's version of All Along the Watchtower better.

Day 25: War! Huh! What Is It Good For? Absolutely Nothing At All!

The military industrial complex and the fetishisation of military and military personnel are really worrying for a pacifist like me. I see it all as a huge threats to the future of democracy.

Play me anti war protest music or music by a pacifist or about pacifism.

Did someone already play War Pigs and I missed it?

I love this album but, as an Argentinian, I have to say that dancing tango to flamenco music is tricky!

Noted. Also note, I am dumb and mixed them up!

Talking Heads - Speaking In Tongues

In my opinion “This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)” is the greatest love song ever written.

@TenderLovingKiller® 's awesome taste and mind reading abilities beat me to the punch.

Plan B:


Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart
I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never, ever tear us apart
I (Don't ask me)
I was standing (You know it's true)
Mm, you were there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (We're shining through)
And they could never tear us apart
You (Don't ask me)
You were standing (You know it's true)
I was there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (We're shining through)
And they could never tear us apart
I-I-I
I was standing
You were there

YLT Upside Down ep (cd rip streaming)

On our first date in 1992, my future wife and I saw Yo La Tengo / Buffalo Tom / My Bloody Valentine. This was the Holocaust (Loveless) tour. YLT was promoting May I Sing With Me (which Upside Down comes from).

The Cure "Mixed Up" (1990 Elektra, original Canadian pressing)

Alright, this screams for The Cure, but I'm going with Lovesong. Mixed Up.

However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

Again no more needs saying

Flock of Dimes - Head of Roses

Jenn Wasner never disappoints, even when she confounds expectations.

Mitski - Puberty 2

The little details she puts in her songs make the (mostly unrequited) love and longing palpable.
