Alvvays - In Undertow
Love the chorus of this one. "There's no turning/There's no turning/There's no turning back..." rolls in like a series of waves, cresting the peak and into the trough.
Shout out to Plimsoll Punks, indelibly linked to retail memories.

David Bowie - It's No Game (Pts 1 & 2)
Opens and closes Scary Monsters, the first Bowie album I really got into. An angry album: bitterness, jealousy, addiction. Parts 1 and 2 each share a laundry list of global injustices. Part 1 is angry, energized. Part 2 is tired. Nothing was fixed.

Steely Dan - Third World Man
Gaucho's closing track.
To me, the third world man is suburban tween who has the horrors and wars of the world filtering down to him, adopting guerrilla aesthetics and activities just to feel like he can *do something* about it.

deciding to start a "song of the day" post thing.
not just what's stuck in my head, but what it's making me think about/fun interpretations of it. sharing my musical takes into the void.
probably won't end up being daily but i'm not gonna concede that in advance. i'll start it by quoting this post.
