The song that made my day 2023.01.15:
Billy Nomates - "Balance Is Gone"
An upbeat little tune that hurtles along on a growling bassline, decorated by a rotating cast of pleasantly surprising synthpop flourishes that drop in for a bit, disappear, and sometimes return. Especially tasty are the synth/guitar solo and the spot when the drummer goes from hitting every beat equally to emphasizing the 2 and the 4.

The song that made my day 2023.01.14:
Belle and Sebastian - "A Bit of Previous"
I played their album "If You're Feeling Sinister" so many times that my partner, who initially liked it, soured on the band. But I still listen, and this one gave me a proper rush. It's got everything I love about them: jangly indie pop sound, literate, vulnerable lyrics, slightly twee but with a touch of darkness to balance it.

The New Pornographers - "Really Really Light"
Vancouver indie power pop group The New Pornographers had me at "Mass Romantic" in 2000. 23 years later they've still got me with this new track, a quieter, more nuanced pop snack wrapped around the rapture-inducing vocal harmonies of A.C. Newman, Kathryn Calder and Neko Case. What song(s) made your day today? #music #CoSoMusic

Stepz feat Fizzler - "Pacman"
Welds samples from the classic video game to a drill 'n' bass-heavy backing track that calls back to grime, a subgenre of U.K. rap from early in the millennium. I'll admit to not understanding much of the slang, but I think it's making a serious statement on racism in a humorous way. What song made your day today? #music #CoSoMusic

Iggy Pop - "Strung Out Johnny"
Iggy sings a poignant junkie's tale (is this about Johnny Thunders?) in his low voice, with a menacing bass riff to boost the drama. Another late-career winner for the Popper.

The song that made my day 2023.01.06:
Sessa - "Ponta de Faca"
Builds hypnotically using a simple repeating guitar figure and deadened bass strings, with gentle touches of flute that make the track somehow simultaneously lush and spare and lyrics practically whispered in Portuguese. #music #CoSoMusic

The Casual Dots - "The Frequency of Fear"
Washington D.C. indie rock supergroup who made their debut album in 2004, then waited 18 years to release a follow-up. This gem leads it off, sounding less like American indie than something you'd hear on a Kiwipop classic from The Clean or The Bats. #music #CoSoMusic
A slinky, trip-hopped-up retro-soul beat underpins Ponder's powerful, uplifting vocal. #music #CoSoMusic

Here's my New Year's playlist, featuring X, Ella Fitzgerald, ABBA, Taylor Swift, Tom Waits, The Zombies, The Eagles and more in addition to the expected U2 track in case you find yourself without a soundtrack to the rolling over of the calendar.
May 2023 bring peace, contentment and joy to you, everyone you love, and everyone who loves you. #music
