Song: Don’t Look Back in Anger Artsit/Group: Oasis Yes, I too think the opening bars of this song are a shameless ripoff from Imagine. And what’s with the Beatles glasses in the vid? I like to think of it as a tribute. I got this tape in the United States that had apparently been burgled from [...]

Song: Sister Suffragette Artist/Group: Glynis Johns This is probably my favourite song from the 1964 Disney film Mary Poppins. I love it. I love Mrs. Banks, I love the tune, I love the lyrics. This is the song I sing in the shower when I’m in a good mood. We’re clearly soldiers in petticoats And [...]

Song: Already Home Artist/Group: Annabel Fay This is my favourite song at the moment. Annabel Fay’s had some other good songs recently too – notably River and Show Me The Right Way – I reckon she’s one to watch (and listen to!). I like songs with good lyrics, but even most of those don’t actually [...]
Song of the week: Even The Bad Times Are Good

I was doing some dishes yesterday (yes, it has be known to happen), and the only station that wasn’t ads was playing a new Rihanna song, something about “Can you get it up? Are you big enough? Give it to me baby, take it, take it”, and I’m not that hip at the best of times, [...]
Song of the week: How Bizarre
Posted in Music, tagged kiwi music on February 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Song: How Bizarre Artist/Group: OMC This week’s song is the 1996 hit How Bizarre by kiwi duo OMC. It’s one of those songs which, if you’re under 30 and grew up in NZ, you probably feel like you’ve always known. OMC stands for Otara Millionaire’s Club – which is a joke since, as most kiwis know, Otara [...]
Larry, what was that song called?

So today I viewed the hottest song released this year on a YouTube clip recommended to me by a friend. The clip is of 62 year old civil rights activist “General” Larry Platt, in an American Idol season 9 ”audition” performing the song Pants on the Ground. Obviously his isn’t really a true audition in that [...]

Song: Blue Skies Artist/Group: The Feelers The Feelers are a kiwi rock band that have been around for a while now, and have some great songs. Blue Skies came out this summer and although I wasn’t a huge fan at first, it’s really grown on me and since it’s on the radio all the time it’s definately come to represent [...]
Song of the week: What Can I Do?
Posted in Music, tagged Mandopop, Taiwanese music on October 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Song: What Can I Do? Artist/Group: Nan Quan Mama (南拳媽媽) Nan Quan Mama are a group from Taiwan. Nan Quan (南拳), “Southern Fist”, is a kind of powerful martial arts and Mama (媽媽) means “mother”, so their name is like a paradox, showing that they can be as strong as Nan Quan and as gentle [...]
Song of the week: White ‘n’ Nerdy
Posted in Music on October 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Song: White ‘n’ Nerdy Artist/Group: Weird Al’ Yankovic Man I love this song. Because I’m white. And nerdy. If you havn’t heard of Weird Al he does parodies of music hits. This song is take off of Chamillionare’s song Ridin’ Dirty. If you, like me, are white and nerdy and don’t speak gangsta, “riding dirty” [...]
