I like the rawness and slight discordance of the live version.

Well, that’s a mood.

I was thinking about Florrie’s song “Too Young To Remember” today and that a lot of people have nostalgia for a past that (as the song says) they cannot actually remember.

The idea for the song was hers and she co-wrote it, so it’s not some other person putting words in her mouth. She was born in 1988, but as she does, I do think a lot of people recognize that the late 1980s and early 1990s was a time of increasing optimism and possibility. They look back on that era fondly even if they don’t actually recall it. Unfortunately, this tendency can also malfunction spectacularly — the Boomers have nostalgia for an ersatz version of the 1950s that most of them don’t actually remember. And that misplaced yearning for a bygone era has completely fucked American politics and younger people for two damn decades now.

But what Florrie has done is pure harmless fun.

As a side note, she plays percussion on that track. Because she’s an excellent drummer it sounds a lot better than the tracks of hers where they use electronic drums (jeez, why do that when you have an amazing drummer just RIGHT THERE? I mean she’s RIGHT THERE. Give the lady her drums!).

Nouveau Clou ! Nouveau Clou ! Je suis si heureuse.

Alas I do not know much Turkish, but a close friend sent me this and it is very good.

Just highlighting another very small artist I like.

Wow. It loses some of the urgency of the original, but also has better musicianship. Great cover.

I like this too, but if you have photosensitive epilepsy, you gonna have about 500 seizures if you watch it.

Will have to add that to my list of good Halloween songs. Nice dark feel.

Nice dark sound and goth girl. Hard to go wrong there.

Whoever did the sound mix of that was a damn clown, but still…great performance and Mette’s voice is 😍😍.

So far, I love everything I’ve heard by Heartworms.

Just a great goth throwback and throwforward there. Blends so many streams of music of the past 40 years so well while creating their own unique thing. Highly recommended.

Not typically to my taste, but that drummer is incredible. Love her playing. Her name is Krislyn Miller.

This is such a great, perfect pop song.
