Kiki Dee performed this soon after she wrote it, and I found myself crying at the instant emergence of art. Sorry, Etta--Elton gets closer to that gig
kulturhack
An idiosyncratic musical genius marries a classic "list" pop-song structure to Nick Drake territory, and neck hairs stand up on sleepless nights...
kulturhack
John Winston Lennon: The Dakota, New York City, December 8, 1980.
kulturhack
From Anjani Thomas' exquisite Blue Alert collection--much like Neil Tennant, she creates a love song that's incidentally gay. Words by Leonard Cohen.
kulturhack
From Overcome By Happiness, the best chamber pop since Big Star's Sister Lover. Like Loaded-era-VU collided with The Beatles and a Bacharach horn coda
kulturhack
Max Richter, Franz Kafka, Tilda Swinton: My kind of sonic menage a trois. Richter's music exists in a perpetual late autumn--a resonant PermaNovember.
kulturhack
Close-held pop secret: the best Elton John aren't those inescapable singles. This is a song about male vulnerability--an anti-rap song, if you will...
kulturhack
A song for both sides of the Iran conflict--an admonishment to those in power and a caution to those who would take control. As if it mattered.
kulturhack
A masterpiece about damage. Linked meditations on life after "love has gone away:" void-filling sex, emotional disengagement and aching loneliness.
kulturhack
We all have memories we manage to outpace through constant motion, that nevertheless catch up with us at three in the morning. This one of those times
kulturhack
A Final Song For The Impending Twitpocalypse: See you in the funny papers.
kulturhack
The arc of a relationship in a breathtaking 5.5 minutes. Beneath the irony worn out from being too often evoked, real hurt pokes through the holes.
kulturhack
Lucinda is best when not using name-checks for "authenticity." Here, there's no beer brand or bar name or meticulous locale--just exquisite heartbreak
kulturhack
Placed next to Robyn Hitchcock's "I Used To Say I Love You" as an opposite take on the same theme--plus, each has a soaring "Illusion" in its chorus.
kulturhack
Though it's as rare as solar eclipse, Hitchcock's surrealism sometimes slips and the raw, emotional feed is unfiltered by insects, food or Victoriana
kulturhack
Beyond the gorgeous melody, see this as Al Stewart Done Right--a song where a rejected lover points out the parallels between himself and Napoleon II.
kulturhack
The original and definitive version (Madeleine Peyroux, you're not even close). A perfect Cohen lyric, a perfect Anjani melody and a perfect reading.
kulturhack
Miles Dewey Davis III, the most important, protean American musician of the 20th century, would have been 83 today. Here's one shard of his genius.
kulturhack
Hammill writes smart, but more importantly he writes his age--and so we've matured together. Kids won't understand this too-late negotiation, but I do
kulturhack
Duncan Browne died young, but left a catalog of moving, varied work. This is from the first Metro album, where Bowie later found "Criminal World."
