The Rolling Stones - Paint It Black
Sometimes it's just a mood.
My favorite Christmas song, about a parent seeing the day anew through the eyes of their child.
Abney Park - Through Your Eyes on Christmas Eve

More #CoSoMusic. I used to play this one constantly when I had a radio show in college.
Westworld - Sonic Boom Boy
Posted as an attempt to get it out of my head.
Missing Persons - Destination Unknown
Good night, CoSo.
Going out on something a little different than my usual: The incomparable Josephine Baker - Madiana https://youtu.be/lZIObzeyfAk
I hope this scene had someone discover The Cramps the way Stranger Things did with Kate Bush.
A little #CoSoMusic for those among us who, at some point in our lives, had so much black in our wardrobes that light could not escape our closets:
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Cities in Dust
Good night, CoSo. We'll see what's still here in the morning.
In the meantime, Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.
Some midday #CoSoMusic that lets me indulge my inner mad toymaker:
Doctor Steel - Childhood (Don't) a-Go-Go
Good night, CoSo. It's been a good day for the USA. We're far from out of the woods, but you know what I'm feeling?
"Pure Energy."
A little noontime (EST) #CoSoMusic to help get us all through the rest of the day.
Tori Amos - Crucify
Good night, CoSo. Let us end the day with some inspirational words from our sadly departed brother Lux Interior:
I dig that god damn rock and roll,
The kind of stuff that don't save souls.
Stay sick, y'all. #CoSoMusic
Some #CoSoMusic for a Monday morning. Just the thing for pushing a bookcart through the hallowed halls of academia:
Kate Bush - Sat in Your Lap
Good night, CoSo. I leave you with another song that FOR SOME REASON has been in heavy rotation in my brain in recent years:
The Sisters of Mercy - Dominion/Mother Russia
Good night, CoSo. You don't need Iggy Pop to tell you that life is crazy, but here he is, doing it anyway:
(Personal note: Sweet mother of mercy, Kate Pierson in that dress...)
This album is my go-to for consolation whenever someone close to me dies.
Nothing like that has happened recently. I'm just throwing it out to ask:
What's good, CoSo?
