"there is a feeling in me and I don't know why"

Cut Copy - Saturdays
From Cut Copy's first album Bright Like Neon Love, which I highly recommend if you've only heard the more well known second album. This track's beauty is in it's simplicity. Like a good Saturday.

Ben Watt featuring Estelle - Pop A Cap In Yo' Ass
A Buzzin Fly track by the former EBTG member and young Brit pop sensation Estelle. Strange that he would choose to use her for just a spoken word piece, as she's got a beautiful voice.

"it's me, i'm alive"

One of my favorite old broads just put out a new album.

Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band - Waiting For The D Train

Mama's not dead yet! She's still got a few ideas in her head that she wants to share with us. It's up to you to decipher them. Perhaps while waiting for the train?

Yoko Ono - I'm Alive

Umm... like I said above.

"got the sweet lips to kiss me goodnight"

Cole Porter died on this date in 1964.

Jimmy Somerville - From This Moment On

"i'll try not to let you down"

All this chatter about the new (boring) Michael Jackson song has left me wanting more.

Jackson 5 - What You Don't Know
1974: with their popularity waning, the Jackson brothers made a foray into the harder sounds of the mid 70s, through electric guitars, synths and proto-disco beats. If you pay close attention, you can practically hear Michael breaking out of his shell in the details he adds to the mix.

The Jackson - Show You The Way To Go
1976: only two years later, they are on the cutting edge of the disco sound with this lush arrangement and layered vocal arrangement. Of course Jermaine was gone by now and Jackie had joined the group. The name had changed from the 5 to just The. And Michael was still straining against the confines of his family. Perhaps even pleading with them to let him lead. But it was not to be.

Tonight. New York City.

Kylie Minogue - Where Is The Feeling (Acoustic)
This isn't so much an acoustic reading of the '94 album track as it is a live band recording. Very refreshing to hear her paired with live instruments. I think her voice sounds quite noice when removed from her typical electronic landscape.

Kylie Minogue - Nothing Can Stop Us Now
A cover of the Saint Etienne classic, and produced by them too. It's unfortunate that this was relegated B-side status, but I'm happy it exists nonetheless. This version is so close to the original that only a true Stéphanois could tell the difference.
