Adorable - Glorious
This one has been stuck in my head all morning.
Note: Video isn’t much to look at. Just throw it in another tab.
Can’t get this song out of my head.
Here’s an older post I made for this song if you want a crisp version. http://elclon.tumblr.com/post/87950955/superchunk-the-first-part-feeling-like-a

Joy Division - Decades - Closer
This always gets better with each listen.
Continuing with a theme … Radiohead covering “Ceremony”. Pretty well done, too.

New Order - Dreams Never End - Movement
I’ve always really, really liked the two tracks on Movement (the other being “Doubts Even Here”) with Peter Hook taking lead on the vocals. It’s a good transition from Ian Curtis to Bernard Sumner, since the two were so different.

Operation Ivy
Argh! About 3 different Op. Ivy songs simultaneously began playing in my head when I saw this post.

Dead Kennedys - Moral Majority - In God We Trust, Inc.
After many years of listening to this band I still have moments where I’m just blown away by them. I had such a moment on the way in to work this morning, and it occurred during this song. Lyrics below. (NSFW)
You call yourself the Moral Majority
We call ourselves the people in the real world
Trying to rub us out, but we’re going to survive
God must be dead if you’re alive
You say, ‘God loves you. Come and buy the Good News’
Then you buy the president and swimming pools
If Jesus don’t save ‘til we’re lining your pockets
God must be dead if you’re alive
Circus-tent con-men and Southern belle bunnies
Milk your emotions then they steal your money
It’s the new dark ages with the fascists toting bibles
Cheap nostalgia for the Salem Witch Trials
Stodgy ayatollahs in their dobble-knit ties
Burn lots of books so they can feed you their lies
Masturbating with a flag and a bible
God must be dead if you’re alive
Blow it out your ass, Jerry Falwell
Blow it out your ass, Jesse Helms
Blow it out your ass, Ronald Reagan
What’s wrong with a mind of my own?
You don’t want abortions, you want battered children
You want to ban the pill as if that solves the problem
Now you wanna force us to pray in school
God must be dead if you’re such a fool
You’re planning for a war with or without Iran
Building a police state with the Ku Klux Klan
Pissed at your neighbor? Don’t bother to nag
Pick up the phone and turn in a fag
Blow it out your ass, Terry Dolan
Blow it out your ass, Phyllis Schlafly
Ram it up your cunt, Anita
Cos God must be dead
If you’re alive
God must be dead
If you’re alive

Bedhead - Disorder - Bedhead
As mentioned in my earlier reblog of Moosegarden, I had to queue up Disorder after seeing that typography exploration. Rather than post Joy Division’s version, I’ll share Bedhead’s.
Now on to Codeine’s cover of Atmosphere…

I know what I’ll be listening to today.

aMiniature - No Bonds - DepthFiveRateSix
I have a hard time picking a favorite song on this LP because it was one of my favorites circa ‘94 - ‘95. I’m not sure how well they did outside of my own local scene, but they often seemed completely missed by many people. Maybe their thunder was stolen by the incredible amount of good music being generated during those years?
Anyway, I still have the shirt (that’s two sizes too big for me) I bought after a show around the time of this album.
