A song for how February feels.

We have come to drag days

A little freshly remastered early Cure for the weekend.

As is often the case these days, talking to my teenagers about music brought me back to a record I haven’t listened to in a decade or more. Gotta say, Interpol’s first two records still sound amazing. This deep cut was a favorite then and I loved hearing it again today.

If this song does not win an Oscar this weekend, then there’s something broke in the voters of the Academy.

Hum was a gateway drug to whole worlds of music for me.

Share a song that makes you want to dance every time.

When the drums hit, you best believe I will be preening and stepping like a low rent Mick Jagger in my kitchen (which is where most of my dancing happens these days.)

What was the first album you ever bought? Pick your favorite song off that album.

The first record I ever spent my own money on was Michael Jackson’s Dangerous in 6th grade. A few weeks later, I heard Nirvana and, well… things changed. But, to be honest, this opening track still hits pretty hard thanks to Teddy Riley’s signature New Jack Swing production.

Share a song that got you through a difficult time.

Sometimes, only The Pixies will do.

This is my favorite track on the record that got the most repeat listens from me last year.
