The Police

This song was written well before Sting underwent his transformation towards inner peace. It clearly demonstrates a fierce lyrical writing style ready to confront a family and labor system that is turning humans into monsters worst than what can be imagined in stories.  I like that Sting has been able to quell his inner turmoil, but perhaps in the process he has de-fanged an important voice that stood strongly against the status quo.  I present this song to myself on my own birthday as a 'note-to-self'', it tells me I must maintain for as long as I can, my personal individual battle against the myriads of manipulations of an obsolete and decaying social consciousness.

Kate Nash

This song is well placed in a romantic comedy or somewhere in a place where there is some kind of girl power thing or gathering about to happen.  A very energetic and fun track imported from London.

Darkel

Sometimes you need a song to feel out your daydreams.   This can be that kind of song.  Listen to it knowing that some wish is just beckoning for your hands to rub the magic lamp that contains it, and if you do it just right, all the hope trapped in your thoughts will flow directly back into your heart.

The Detachments

Happy Pi day everybody.  I have been kind of 'detached' from this blog for a while, but when I hear something that really grabs my attention I rush to share it with whatever following that I have here.  Here is my latest auditory discovery.  Hope you enjoy this track and their other works as much as I do!

Touching tune that seems to come from some sort of tragic place in which distance separates a future that was once dreamed upon and yet has drifted away much like a balloon, slowly, surely and impossible to stop.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Some of the best electronic music ever made came from O.M.D. around 30 years ago, and I am so happy to report that they have returned to form.  Not only with new music but with a new track that seems to stem directly from their 'Dazzle Ship' era.  This is spectacular!

David Bowie

Let's start out 2013 celebrating the birthday of a legend and his brand new song "Where are we now?".  This song appears to be a bit of a nod toward Berlin, with Bowie's trademark cryptic lyrics holding your hand through the ride.  His voice has noticeably aged a bit, but it fits this song and gives it that unique touch of stoicism that is wonderfully delivered by this classic artist who has seen and given so much.
