don your ceremonial robes, it’s music friday!

if you’re new to cohost after coming here from some other, eggbugless site, the ONE thing you should know is that MUSIC FRIDAY is the one thing absolutely everyone does. it is the only thing besides eggbug that we all certainly celebrate and cherish. i will not be accepting truths about the world at this time.

how do you celebrate music friday, you ask? well, that’s up to you, and there’s no wrong way, but the way i choose to celebrate this week is by asking:

what’s a song that made you go “ohhh! Ohhh!! Absolutely, fuck yes, let’s gooooo!” in the last week?

this week i was walking to the bus when royksopp’s “eple” came on, and wow! what a fucking track. i think this has gotten a lot of play in the last 21 years so this is not like Rarities With Matthew, but I hadn’t heard it in forever, and my mood was instantly improved and lightened, trotting down the street with this in my ears.

i was driving home kinda late earlier this week (although it gets dark early enough nowadays that it probably wasnt actually that late) and so hardcore by busta rhymes came on and for whatever reason my brain decided it was the perfect song for that specific moment so i felt like i was in a movie for a little bit

a few days ago i absent-mindedly put my entire music library on shuffle as i drove to sainsburys - and in doing so was immediately hit by the teenage nostalgia beam that is Love It When You Call by The Feeling. (Spotify)

i honestly think the entire album Twelve Stops And Home is one of the best of the 00s, an underappreciated all-killer-no-filler blast of britpop drawing from the best of 'em. (the title track of their second album has a backing vocal section that is lifted almost directly from the ending of Mr Blue Sky by ELO, if you're wondering who i think some of their major influences have been!)

Slowthai - i know nothing youtube

I tend gravitate toward songs that have very simple refrains. Not sure why, probably says something about my thoughts on lyricism generally. Anyway this song caught my attention initially because of the production, but then when the verse gets punctuated with "I know nothing/I keep getting older" I was sold
