Mixed Nuts » Music http://insanityworks.org/mixednuts A bit of this, some of that, and a whole lot of something else entirely.

This is what A-Ha’s Take On Me would sound like if the lyrics actually had anything to do with the video.

In a similar vein, a song where the lyrics are about the lyrics. It’s worth listening to the end.

Until now. Regina Spektor.

Just busy and lazy when I’m not busy. This is Beirut, a band a friend of mine recently made me aware of. The song is called ‘Nantes’.

OK yeah so actually she’s been back a while and I’ve been slow to react. The album’s called Mantaray and though it’s got mixed reviews (and the videos have a distinct 80s nightmare vibe), mostly we just love it because it’s Siouxsie.

I don’t sing very loudly, but the lady at the counter noticed and, after a chat, offered to lend me the CD – a ‘best of’ collection – if I could make her a copy too. Since then, I’ve been listening to it non-stop. I haven’t heard most of these songs in at least 20 years, but I actually remember most of them. This week’s song, then, is one of my favorites off that CD. It’s not the best of recordings and not much of a video at all, but that’s ok because the song is the point. It’s called ‘Ca m’avance a quoi?’

This is live – just her and her guitar and what looks like hundreds of people.

The Cat Empire – I’ve been hearing of them for a while but never listened to any of their stuff till this week. I like.
