12/23 - Before We De- Or Ascend

The last list was a bit dark, so here are five pick-me-up tunes that I've been blasting when I can't allow myself to wallow anymore.

Rosalía - Chicken Teryaki   

According to Spotify Wrapped, I listened more to Rosalía than anyone else this year. So I think she is my girlfriend now. Even at her silliest, like here, she has me hooked. Something about the phrasing, the production, the cultural mishmash...

 

 

Anna Erhard - 170   

A little lesson on height. One of my pet hates is people writing nothing but their height on dating profiles, but apparently it's very important to some.

I don't want you to be wrong
I just wanna hear you say that
I am 170 and you are not
Say it!
Let's settle it!

 

 

Cornelis Vreeswijk - Fritiof Anderssons Paradmarsch

Some of the best alliterations put to music. 

Bugen er I borgare i Birka och Borås!

Panic Shack - The Ick

Two and a half minutes of solid, classic-sounding punk, with a good amount of cheek and a bridge to mosh to.

You put the nail in the coffin!

Björk ft. Rosalía - Oral

One of the few true geniuses of our time keeps sending blessings. While I adore her later sonic experiments, hearing her flex her melodic pop muscles again is a gorgeous winter treat. ANd Rosalía's second appearance on the same list!? We're definitely a couple now...

🇵🇸 Free Palestine! 🇵🇸
