I ran across an old mix CD I made a decade ago that featured some intriguing sequencing; not least of which was my possibly enlightened choice to place PJ Harvey's Rid of Me directly next to The Pretenders' Stand by You. Gotta say, pretty killer 1-2 punch. Fierce, fierce, and everything in between. I got a thing for fierce-spirited women; I heart rock and roll. ____ #44music #thepretenders #pjharvey #vancouverwa #motorcycles #chrissiehynde

My son and I got into a huge fight today over the merits of the new Underworld release Barbara Barbara, We Face a Shining Future. I have been a fairweather fan of the Brit electronic pioneers for years, occasionally loving, often ambivalent, but find this current release to be their best in a decent while. We were enjoying a good wrestle earlier while track 2, "If Rah," was playing, when he extricated himself from leaping on my face to run over and turn it OFF. "I don't like how they're just repeating the same thing over and over," he explained. As a fellow self-expressed electronic music aficionado, it was surprising to hear him say this, and disheartening in the extreme. I quit playing with him and threatened to put on John Cage. Children can be so temperamental. ____ #underworld #barbarabarbarawefaceashiningfuture #44music

If you dig Deerhunter, Arcade Fire, or The Decemberists, and haven't heard The Dears' Times Infinity, Volume 1 from this year...you ought to give it a spin. Opening track We Lost Everything might end up rolling around your head for the rest of the day. Or year. Dark, catchy, hopefully, melancholic. Pictured: not the band. ____ #thedears #44music #44cousins #childrenatplay
