I said it yesterday, I’ll say it again, great power pop never gets old. I’ve heard this song hundreds of times and it still sounds fresh. But I’d listen to Tammy Ealon read the phone book.
There is one universal truth in the world, good power pop never gets old.
Continuing the theme of yesterday’s song, Ash with Kung-Fu. These Irish lads should watch out before playing this song live in England. Is it more offensive for White kids to sing about Kung Fu movies than a Black guy? One wonders…
Last month some asshole cops in England arrested a man for singing this song within earshot of a Chinese couple. In the spirit, here is Carl Douglas Kung-Fu Fighting! Honestly, I can’t imagine any Chinese people taking offense to this song. Or anybody for that matter.
Days like today I am in love with YouTube. Why? Because it allows me to bring you the all-mighty Low and all 10 minutes of Lullaby.

“Charmed to meet yuh…”
I can’t get this out of my head. I find myself singing “For the douche, for the douche for the motherfuckin’ douche” at inappropriate moments. And I’m totally smitten with Kate Micucci. She’s the brunette, if you didn’t know.
I usually prefer the more pop songs in The Cure canon, but this darkdarkdarkdark song hits all the right notes with me.
Ah, the so-called “buzz kill” track. On the awesome Power, Corruption and Lies, this song follows the ecstatic burst of awesome pop that is “Age of Consent.” And yes, in some ways it does drag the overall momentum of the album, especially when it’s followed by “The Village.” But there is a method to the […]
