05/22 - Either Side You're On, It's Not What You Deserve

You can't argue with this music. Stop arguing.

 

Najwa - Bella Ciao

So, the other day I couldn't make it last any longer, and finished the final episode of La Casa de Papel – one of the most thrilling TV shows I've seen. So here's to El Profesor, to Nairobi, to Murillo, to Helsinki, to Palermo, to Estocolmo... and of course, here's to Najwa Nimri, aka Alicia Sierra, aka my main current TV crush. 

And, some words of solidarity for the brave Ukrainian people:

 

Una mattina mi sono alzato
E ho trovato l'invasor 

O partigiano portami via
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

 Questo è il fiore del partigiano

Tirzah - Send Me

This is very cool music. If you're not with this, I'm afraid you're not very cool.

 

 

Joe Goddard ft. Valentina - Gabriel

From the first time I heard this on BBC6 I've been in awe of the way it holds back and keeps you wondering what kind of tune this is for a good minute and a half, before releasing this absolute monster of a disco torch song.

Gabrieeeeeeeeeeeeeeel!!! Gabrieeeeeeeeeeeeeeel!!!!

Mandy, Indiana - Bottle Episode

I don't know what this is, but it makes me all tingly inside. I want to headbang in a crowd until my thoughts are scrambled like.

 

 

Low - The Price You Pay (It Must Be Wearing Off)

By now it's worth asking whether any band has ever aged as well as Low. The previous album and this one are absolute masterpieces. Possibly the best of their three-decade long career. Devastating music for our fractured times.
