Chicken-related thing of the day

Katerine's album Les créatures was released in 1999 and it remains a staple of my musical diet. You really should listen to it, even if you don't understand the French. Here's one of the best tracks, an ode to a chicken - eaten warm at lunch, cold at dinner.

A Merry Aural Christmas

And last but not least... my favourite Christmas song of all time...

My favourite Scratch Perverts

My favourite alternative Hong Kong band

Thank you to the United States of Tara's music-folk...

I think I may be in love with Dawn Landes. More on this story as it develops...

My favourite new Christmas song, even though it's only mid-October

I discovered Pomplamoose today. I know... I'm late. At least I'm not pregnant.

I think I'm in love. Again. I hope they don't get me pregnant.

My favourite Ben Folds/Nick Hornby collaboration

I read about this Lonely Avenue album about a month ago and was terribly excited. So excited that I forgot about it a few weeks later.
 For no particular reason, I typed Ben Folds into the youtubes' searchy box this morning. I saw this and remembered my previous excitement. And guess what? I'm excited again. Very excited.
I think I need to go to a record store. Because I still like like doing that. Please buy records in record stores. It really is the best way to do it.

My favourite tel quel

My favourite French music video with women prancing about dressed as poodles

Merci Madame Nancy...

And while we're on the subject of teenaged Russian lesbians...

By the way, here's a nifty little trick: If you get advertisements on the youtubes, just click on your browser's refresh button. BAM! No ad!

God I love this song. Let's not read into that, ok? It's just a kick-ass pop song...

My other favourite Tattooed Lady

Feliz cumpleaños, México!

My favourite Beautiful South song about a dreary English city
