#TuneTuesday (Oct 6)
“But you should never let the sun set on tomorrow before the sun rises today”
“If I Am” is not as popular as Nine Days’ hit song “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)”, but I consider this 2000 song to be the better one in terms of lyrics and musicality.
I have one for the #TuneTuesday theme of #MisheardLyrics. At around 1:30 in Skeletonwitch's 'Longing for Domination', it sounds like he says 'let me be your parking savior'. No idea what Chance is really saying there. But it cracks me up every time 😂

“Never imagined, like an assassin / Yeah, one look took me down”
I became really aware of Canadian electronic music duo Sultan Shepard a few years ago and I instantly loved their 2021 song “Assassin” when I heard it. While it is technically EDM, the song’s vibe is a lot more chill and uplifting especially with the quiet breakdown in the middle.
This week's #TuneTuesday theme is fun - #MrMenLittleMissSongs, tracks that could make for a Roger Hargreaves book. So how about some Aussie punk?!
Hard-ons, "Little Miss Evil" (1990)
#TuneTuesday (Sep 1)
I first heard of the Australian band #Sheppard in 2014 because of their song “Geronimo”, which remains their biggest hit to date. I learned that they released a new song, “Beautiful Something”, last week. Well, it’s a fantastic song and definitely a good listen if you want so…
Sluice, "Brebis dans la brume" (2023)

#TuneTuesday this week is #WaitingSongs, and since I already did that Rentals one, here's a Weezer one. Always loved this song. My band in the mid 90s used to cover it.

#TuneTuesday (Sep 29)
I instantly liked “I Dare You” from English indie pop band The xx when I first heard it. The vocals of Oliver and Romy on top of a constant drumbeat and singing about infatuation makes for a damn catchy song.

“The rain, it ain’t permanent / And soon we’ll be dancin’ in the sun”
“Better Days” was written by Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy during the pandemic, and it’s a fantastic listen if you want something optimistic and inspiring, especially with ethereal backing choir singing in Irish.
The #TuneTuesday theme this week is #TogsAndClogs, and the first one that came to mind for me is maybe my favorite Eagles song- "Those Shoes".

The 1992 OPM folk song “Kanlungan” (“Refuge”) by Filipino singer Noel Cabangon, as part of the band Buklod, is one of my comfort songs and brings up a bit of nostalgia whenever I hear it.

American singer #DuncanSheik sadly passed away last week at the age of 56. While most people know him for his 1996 debut single “Barely Breathing” (which I love), I think that his sophomore “She Runs Away” is underrated. It’s tonally different from the first single, but I…
#TuneTuesday this week is #StrangeFirstLines, and let's go with the first lines of the first track of my favorite record.
Meat Puppets - 'Violet Eyes':
"Mother master, some things must be
Plastic master, this is for free
You give off a dark
Seems larger than life…

“Didn’t I” is a very underrated 1999 song by British singer Valerie Etienne. This pop-R&B song is an upbeat romantic ballad with lovely harmonies in the chorus.

#TuneTuesday (Sep 15)
“Do You Believe in Us” by Cuban-American singer Jon Secada is such a good piece of Latin pop music from the early 1990s. It also has a Spanish version titled “Cree en nuestro amor”.

#TuneTuesday (Jul 14)
Released last year, the song “Guess She’s Cool” by British band Only The Poets is one of those underrated upbeat yet lyrically melancholic pop songs that deserves more views.

I like a lot of Imagine Dragons’ songs and if I were to recommend one of them, “Wrecked” from 2021 would be the one. This song is very emotional yet demonstrates the band’s versatile musical chops, with the song transitioning from acoustic verses to the rock chorus and the choral-like falsetto vocals of the pre-chorus and outro.
#TuneTuesday (Sep 8)
“And nobody will love me
’Til I learn to lovе me, hey
The sun is shining somewhere
I just gotta get there, hey”
“The Sun is Shining Somewhere” by Irish singer-songwriter #Moncrieff is such a feel-good song with a really anthemic-sounding chorus. Definite…

The Netherlands’ 🇳🇱 entry for #Eurovision 2023 was “Burning Daylight” by Mia Nicolai and Dion Cooper. Maybe it’s because it’s not the usual kitschy Eurovision song why I like it a lot (and why it wasn’t in the final), but it actually reminds me of “Arcade” by Duncan Laurenc…
