It's almost time for the "Wrapped 2024" list from Spotify! I love seeing the music I played a ton of every year (even though I mostly remember lol). Here's a few gems from my top 100. Enjoy.
Up first, Larry Gus and his track "Black Veil of Fail" off his 2015 album I Need New Eyes. Lyrics underneath...
You're cancer free and sun drenched in your heart
The fleets and the parts in your command
they're sent back
and then they were long years and soft rains
we tried to abstain,
our letters remained unuttered
and you overslept
names are still cancelled
and names are avenged
this is the fact
that grabs and flies and explodes in your way
it's not a maze
it drops and coughs and implodes in your face
the black veil of fail, the black veil of fail
and then you said: "don't forget the success of everyone else,
always includes failed attempts"
this is the fact
that grabs and flies and explodes in your way
it's not a maze
it drops and coughs and implodes in your face
the black veil of fail, the black veil of fail.
but why can't i figure it out for myself?
all of my efforts lead up to defect
and the success of others just makes me kneel
unable to act straight or even think clear
all heavy sleeps with sweaty pillows in heat
a life of failures condensed in a dream
Up next, from the one, the only, Lorn, I give you "Weigh Me Down" off his 2012 album Ask The Dust. Enjoy. One or two more to come.
From the amazing band from Mexico, Austin TV, I give you "Phillipe Je Ne Sais Pas" off their 2002 album, (self titled) Austin TV. Enjoy.
From their 2005 album, Apologies To The Queen Mary, it's Wolf Parade and their stellar track "Same Ghost Every Night." I feel this track in my bones, I really do. Enjoy. I've seen them countless times here, there and everywhere I could. Wolf Parade is glorious. I'm out. See you all when I see you. I have an unpleasant road ahead this month (old family shit) but I'll be fine once I pass Christmas. Love you all. Have a great weekend ahead.
