Nick Lowe - Cruel To Be Kind

Baaaaaaaby, you gotta be cruel to be kind. (via snuh)

The Smiths - Wonderful Woman

My friend Gabe wrote this on my Facebook wall:

Have you heard “Wonderful Woman” by The Smiths? I’d never heard it before today. Like every other Smiths song, it’s also one of the best songs ever. I hope there aren’t too many more I haven’t heard, because I probably couldn’t live with it.

I had the same experience with “Jeane”.

LCD Soundsystem - Beat Connection

And nobody’s coming undone
everybody here is afraid of fun

And nobody’s getting any play
it’s the saddest night out in the USA

I thnk we can be calling snuh an honorary Aussie by this point…

INXS were great in the early 80’s, before all that ‘New Sensation’ crap..

1982’s, ‘Shabooh Shoobah’ is in their top 2 albums for me.

Afrika Bambaataa and Family - Bambaataa’s Theme

tomewing:

As promised, more Bambaataa - this song is magnificently heavy electro. (Edit: actually having found the much lighter original on Spotify I’m pretty sure this is a remix or alternate version, but I don’t know who by or what its provenance is - sorry! This is better though!)

Nice.

The Beat - I Confess

eush:

Just out of spite,
I confess I’ve ruined three lives
Now don’t sleep so tight
Because I didn’t care till I found out that one of them was mine.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Save It For Later is up there too.

The Ramones - Cretin Hop

The Jesus Lizard - Gladiator

I remember sitting in a circle with some friends listening to 1992’s Liar LP at full volume. “Gladiator” just sounded fucking huge and felt eight minutes long. It was one of my fondest music-listening experiences.
