A is for Amanaemonesia

Okay, you talked me into it. I'm joining the A to Z Challenge blog meme, but kind of bending the rules. Instead of posting my own video, I'm doing something very typical of me: music.

For the month of April I will be posting songs I like--all-time favorites, odd tracks that one may not know, or songs that get stuck in my head.

Today's is a track by Chairlift:

This song has been stuck in my head since it came out a few months ago. :)

B is for B-Line

I loves me some Lamb, and I was absolutely thrilled that they reformed and came out with a wonderful album last year. This track is from their extremely quirky Fear of Fours on which, interestingly enough, nearly all the songs avoid a 4/4 time signature. [Also: that "PWONG" sound effect you hear at the end of this video is actually the entirety of track 4.]

C is for Charlie Big Potato

A criminally underrated band, Skunk Anansie had a kickass album in '99 called Post Orgasmic Chill with this song as the first single and leadoff track. Lead singer Skin is on my list of female singers that completely blow me away. They also reunited after a long hiatus, releasing Wonderlustre in 2010.

[Some of you may also remember them from "Selling Jesus" off the Strange Days soundtrack as well.]
