Thanks for that. Sometimes I have a very narrow, conventional mind.

Thanks for that. Sometimes I have a very narrow, conventional mind.

I have no idea if that has anything to do with it. I am just a Font of Useless Information.

That song is very old, like 1950 maybe 40s. But it has a catchy beat!

The 4 lads

if you really like the song this is a slightly updated version from 1990...loved it in college

Day 3 - Song for New Year’s Celebration

Jumping ahead 9 days for this one, but this is the best song for the season by far. Also dad joke time “I need to remember to stop writing 5784 on my checks”

Day 3: A Song for New Year's Celebration

Absolutely posting this because I was in college during Y2K and we'd done the math to backtime this song to midnight. Because we were drunks, but also dorks.

Day 3 - Song for New Year’s Celebration

A band with punctuation in its name! Making up for yesterday's song with punctuation in the title that lacked punctuation marks...

Los Campesinos! is an indie Twee Pop band from Wales with a Spanish name, which is apropos of nothing. Gareth Paisey, the lead singer and glockenspieler (glockenspielist?), said that if they hand known the band would last when they formed at Cardiff University, they would have put more thought into the name (which means "the peasants").

I just love the opening line:

"You said, "Send me stationary to make me horny"
So I always write you letters in multicolours
Decorating envelopes for foreplay
Damn extended metaphors, I get carried away."

A song about looking over a year, and a relationship, and refusing to make lists while making lists, it is a bit darker than most Twee Pop, a moniker they rejected later. But using the gang vocals allows they to turn a sweet sentiment into a much more bitter one: "I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you."

"My Year in Lists," Los Campesinos!

(You said, "Send me stationary to make me horny" -- sorry, I love that line!)

Death Cab For Cutie - The New Year​

It's been a long day i can't be bothered to think. anyway, NYD is a rather shabby affair anyway, the bleak aftermath of a forgetful night.

Plus, i love DCFC, so a good excuse to play some.

I'm lucky enough to have sing Auld Lang Syne with Pink Martini to ring in the New Year a few years back. It was an incredible moment in my life
