Pink Moon | Amanda Petrusich (33 1/3)
Been a fair few weeks since I tucked into an entry in this wonderful series, and this was a great one to get through in one sitting last night.
Great insight and questions posed on Drake's life, plus so much good stuff on PM.

Today's song lyric:
"I thought of stories
They told us long ago
Of how the world was a perfume garden
I haven't yet learned to tame the creature there
And that at least I think is something good"

As the introduction to 4AD collective This Mortal Coil, 'Kangaroo' is sparse, dripping with dread, and dismally suggestive.
A Big Star cover, Cindy Sharp aches over short lines and delivers one of the most devastating introductions in music history.

Waits wears so many hats well - the carnivalistic madman, the beatnik storyteller, the drunken everyman.
But his sympathetic songs are often amongst his very best!
And this is Waits at his sympathetic best.

Ride | Going Blank Again
3 | OX4
One of my favourite album closers of all time, and yet there's still two songs I prefer on the record.
That speaks volumes about just how epic Going Blank Again is.
Nostalgia, longing for home, and a carnivalistic intro all make this song special.

One of my favourite Waits songs and it's not even my favourite from the quite excellent Small Change.

The final song on the final album, Cocteau Twins made sure they left their mark on every listener with 'Seekers Who Are Lovers'.
It has all the ethereal hallmarks the dreampop legends delivered time and again throughout their illustrious time together, and then some.

"You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide"

Like many great artists, Nick Drake was not appreciated during his lifetime.
But his death, presumed suicide, is what gives his music weight, credence, and belief.
We trust his despair, we take solace in his pain, and we know that he meant every single haunting lyric.

Legend has it that producer Bob Ezrin told his young sons their mum had died to get the crying effect needed for Lou Reed's 'The Kids'.
It's likely not the truth, but either way, those distorted cries take a distressing song up another level or three.
