Haunting. Beautiful. Did I mention haunting already?

Here is What Else Is There? by Röyksopp

A song from one of my favorite bands to start the new year with some energy.

Love and pain, engage your senses
And let them carve the way
Give me focus
Sharpen my view - Initiate
Live here and now
And forever or never

Here is Initiate by Haken

Something relaxing for New Year's day - a lot of us probably need it. But tomorrow, something more... metallic. Here is Popsicle Toes by Michael Franks.

Since it's the last day of 2022, I thought I'd choose just one of my previous daily picks to share again. If you've never watched this video, here's your chance to witness the genius of Tigran Hamyasan. This performance still gives me chills at certain points when I listen to it. Happy New Year!

First saw this guy on one of the all-time best comedies (The IT Crowd). I still can't see him without picturing the character he played on that show, but here is the catchy, breezy tune Medicine by Matt Berry.

How dare the Premier ignore my invitations?
He'll have to go
So, too, the bunch he luncheons with
It's second on my list of things to do

At the top is stopping by
Your place of work and acting like
I haven't dreamed of you and I
And marriage in an orange grove

You are the only thing
In any room you're ever in
I'm stubborn, selfish and too old

I have a playlist called "Songs I Pulled Over For". It contains songs heard while driving that were so amazing, I had to pull over to devote full attention. Yesterday @yadayadayada shared a song that brought one of them back to memory.

When she lets loose, her voice is like warm honey, poured over black velvet. I love her voice. So does Leonard Cohen. Here is Perla Batalla singing Kindness. Luxuriate!

What do you get when you take a poem from Kurt Vonnegut, combine it with a very talented band that was discovered and promoted by Zubin Mehta, and then ask Alan Parsons to engineer/mix it all? An amazing song, from an equally amazing album. Here is Nice, Nice, Very Nice by Ambrosia.

No need to do any psychoactive substances for this one. Here, in all its glory, is Frontier Psychiatrist by The Avalanches.

Alice in Chains means a lot to me. It may sound strange to some, but their music helped me get through an especially difficult time of my life. I love all of their albums, but the dreamy, contemplative Jar of Flies is my favorite. I can't pick a 'best' from the tracks, because they're all solid. So if you've never heard this album before, here is the track Don't Follow as your official intro:

Get up off your chair and be happy. Today's pick should make it easy, plus it contains a shoutout to Christmas (and an F bomb, so even though you might want to crank it up, it's probably NSFW).

I inadvertently missed posting a pick yesterday, so I am posting two today. A fun, sweet song that somehow doesn't seem to age, and (trust me) one of the very few I will ever post that includes banjo, here is Hannah by Freelance Whales.

In 1990, this album was released in a genre that I might normally ignore (country rock/Americana). But the fact that the group was formed by Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) made me curious. I'm glad I was, because this album remains, to this day, one of my favorites. The gorgeous engineering on this album (think Alan Parsons/Steely Dan) makes it shine. Here is Your Own Sweet Way by the Notting Hillbillies.

Tears for Fears is one of my favorite groups, and their least-known album is probably one of the most perfect power/jangle-pop creations of all time, up there with Jellyfish, Jason Falkner, probably even the Beatles. Here is Call Me Mellow, from Everybody Loves a Happy Ending. If you dig it, check out the entire album, it's pure gold.

It was a Horace Silver song, as arranged by Daryl Dragon, otherwise known as The Captain. I was so moved by this arrangement that I did a lot of research, tracking down his contact information to tell him how much his recording had meant to me that night. We became friends because of our mutual love of music, and conversed for some time via letters, phone and later email, until he became too sick to respond any longer. I wish he was still with us.
