Dan Frick: Astronaut
“It’s impossible to comprehend
how it’s possible
that in every ending you and I
meet again”

Looping Happiness
The horns still do get me, every time. And it’s difficult to not just have an extra spring in my step, whenever I listen to this song. It would be interesting to come up with a list, but as far as this one goes: this is a song that always seems to make me feel happier, every time I listen to it.
Remembering the Guitar Solos of Vito Bratta, from White Lion
But here’s the weird thing for me. Normally, I’ll fixate on a song and just listen to it over and over again. But lately? For the last few weeks? I’ve fixated on guitarist Vito Bratta’s guitar solos from these songs.
It’s not that I listen to only the solos. I’ve still been looping the songs. But the solos are what echo in my ears, at random hours, even when I don’t have my headphones in. I’ll be doing the dishes, and suddenly one of his solos just starts playing in my head.
Whitney: Dave’s Song
On our last day in Portland, when we were out grabbing some cocktails near the hotel… we were sitting in Pink Rabbit when I heard this song.
Darlingside: The God of Loss
“If it’s small enough to carry
You and I can call it home”
Charly Bliss: Blown to Bits
So here’s this weird thing: Charly Bliss is totally not a band I would think to listen to. I happened across this post on MetaFilter, and gave the album a listen. After a few songs, I added it to my library. And then I started to play it a few more times. And then I started to listen to it non-stop.
Jeffrey Foucault: Cheap Suit
“When he sings he looks so far away
Like there’s something
He almost remembers
And doesn’t know how to say”
Darlingside: White Horses
“Every year it’s about the same
I’m swimming in my dreams across the lake
in second place”
Discovering Guitarist Adrian Bellue
But Bellue’s style was a revelation. I think it’s the inclusion of the false harmonics that take it up a notch for me, as I simply couldn’t believe he’s making all of that happen at the same time.
Vampire Weekend: Big Blue
The lyrics are… fine. And the song itself is quite short (hence me wanting to introduce a few other songs). But the choice to fixate on this particular song seems more pathological than some of my other choices. Maybe it’s the length, and just how quick it is (under two minutes).
The Lethal Weapon Revelation
Yes, reader. There’s a Lethal Weapon theme song.
Luísa Sobral, Salvador Sobral: Só Um Beijo
I realize now how taken I was by Salvador’s voice in “Amar Pelos Dois.” But it’s really the music that’s captivated me more, and Luísa is the songwriter. It’s her work that has so ensorcelled me and I’m excited to explore more of her music on her album, “Rosa.”
Salvador Sobral: Amar Pelos Dois
I’ve shared this song before, but in the last few days… I got it into my head again. I realized I had only posted it on the blog, but didn’t have it as part of my library on Spotify.
Joe Pug: A Thousand Men
I was at a loss for something to post today, and went looking through my “unpublished” blog posts. Surprisingly, I have about 16 posts that I never quite got around to writing up… and this was one of them.
Star Trek Voyager: Some Kind Of
It’s funny at first. And after a while, it gets a little unbearable to watch. But push through to the end, as I think the whole experience is rather amazing.
