Editors - forest fire, 2005

"The British indie rock band Editors released their debut album The Back Room on July 4, 2005 (via Kitchenware Records in the UK). "Forest Fire" is a track from this album, known for its post-punk revival sound with driving guitars, brooding vocals, and themes of fleeting intensity and emotional turmoil. The song's title evokes the metaphor of a consuming blaze—passionate yet destructive—mirroring the lyrics' exploration of impermanence in relationships."

Purple Mountains - that’s just the way that i feel, 2019

“If I were asked to name a poetry book with a perfect opening, David Berman‘s ‘Actual Air’ would be the first one that comes to mind,” wrote Dupuis. “I’m always thinking about [the] poem ‘Snow.'”

El Vy - sleeping light, 2015

"EL VY (pronounced like a plural of Elvis; rhymes with ‘hell pie’) is the musical collaboration between Matt Berninger, vocalist and lyricist of The National, and Brent Knopf, the Portland musician and producer best known for his work in Menomena and his more recent band, Ramona Falls."

Helado Negro - protector, 2025

"‘Protector’ unfolds over woozy, ominous synths as Lange delivers a cynical reflection on the illusion that those in power act in the public’s best interest. The track builds into a noisy crescendo of classic jungle breaks, slicing through layers of echoing vocals that feel both chaotic and cathartic. Accompanied by an official visualizer, the single finds Lange exploring a darker, more confrontational sound while maintaining his signature warmth and introspection."

The Moody Blues - have you heard part one live at the royal albert hall in nineteen sixty-nine, 1977

"The most impressive thing about Caught Live + 5 is that the Moodies, whose reputation was made on their larger-than-life studio achievements, proved more than up to the task of reproducing these achievements live."

James - interrogation, 2014

"‘Interrogation’ mixes post punk with subtle electronics and you know what? It works pretty well, injecting the song with a memorable dose of urgency and desperation."

Etienne Daho - bleu comme toi live, 2005

"Bleu comme toi (Live 2004)" is an iconic live performance by French singer Étienne Daho, featured on his live album Sortir ce soir - Best of Live, released in 2005. This version captures the energy of a 2004 concert."

Del Amitri - i was here, 1985

"Sounding like a gang of snotty pop antagonists, Del Amitri came out swinging on this quirky and often brilliant debut. Vocalist Justin Currie's lyrics were intelligent and witty, laced with sarcasm and venom. With jaunty rhythms and quirky melodies, calling them the bastard sons of XTC and Elvis Costello would not have been too far off the mark."

The Radio Dept - committed to the cause, 2016

"The Radio Dept. mixes moody, dreamy aesthetics with a straightforward pop sensibility—a successful formula they demonstrated on singles like “Heaven’s on Fire” and “Never Follow Suit.” And it’s a balancing act they attempt to continue on Running Out of Love—a long delayed album that arrives after five years of near silence from the band."

Fleet Foxes - a long way past the past, 2020

"The melody is so satisfying in this song, you could strip it down to the most minimal elements and I think it would be just as impactful. The bridge is stunning, "I inherited this and I'm overcome" feels like a huge release of tension, and I really like how the song resolves with a single vocal stem after the rest of the song is all harmonies."

Deerhunter - duplex planet, 2015

"Two of the strongest tracks get some nice assists: “Duplex Planet” has a striking electric harpsichord cameo by Tim Gane of Stereolab, while “Take Care” sees James Cargill of the brilliant Broadcast taking on synth duties and spinning tape manipulations around a sweeping, deceptively sweet waltz."

REM - the worst joke ever live, 2009

"I finally understood why I kind of enjoy this song. The live version has a Fables of the Reconstruction vibe, it resembles a bit Good Advices. Both songs open similarly."

Etienne Daho - retour à toi live, 2005

"The most iconic live version is from 2004, captured in the Sortir ce soir - Best of Live album (released 2005), recorded during high-energy concerts where Daho’s rock-pop vibe and emotional delivery shine."

Deerhunter - basement scene, 2010

"It's widely seen as an overt nod to the Everly Brothers' 1958 classic "All I Have to Do Is Dream," with its ethereal harmonies and escapist lyrics flipping the original's romantic longing into a meditation on aging, memory, and lost friends."

The Radio Dept - sloboda narodu, 2016

"The title of the song, Sloboda Narodu, is Serbo-Croat for “Death to fascism, freedom to the people!”. This was the slogan of the Yugoslav partisans fighting the fascists during World War II. The phrase was coined by Croatian partisan Stjepan Filipović, who, with a noose around his neck, proclaimed the phrase just before he was hung."

The Durutti Column - in d, 1980

"It's a delicate, looping guitar composition with subtle reverb, evoking a sense of introspection. Interestingly, it's an alternate mix of another track on the album called "Sketch for Winter."

Damien Jurado - we are what we dream, 2025

"The Notes of Seasons" and "We Are What We Dream" were originally written for the "Maraqopa" album (2012), however they were never properly recorded until August 2025. It is with great pleasure to finally introduce these songs into the world as they were originally intended."

Massage - daffy duck, 2025

"Daffy Duck" has a hook like something from The Lightning Seeds, and a vibe like tracks from my favorite New Order album (Brotherhood). It's as light as air, but also a little bit heavy (that bass is excellent). The melody hangs around the ears, then things soar."

Dolores O'Riordan - it's you, 2009

"No Baggage is the second and final solo studio album by Irish musician Dolores O'Riordan. It was released on 21 August 2009 in Ireland, most of the world on 24 August 2009 and on 25 August 2009 in North America. The first single, "The Journey" was released to radio on 13 July in North America and on 10 August in Europe."

Ride - dial up, 2019

"The full album dropped on August 16, 2019, via Wichita Recordings, debuting at No. 11 on the UK charts and earning solid acclaim for its bold evolution (e.g., 7.4/10 from Pitchfork, 3.5/5 from NME). "Dial Up" wasn't a single but became a fan favorite for its uplifting, positive energy — Bandcamp reviewers called it "mesmerising" and "upbeat," perfect for shaking off the blues."

The Cure - friday i'm in love acoustic version, 1993

"The acoustic version of Friday I'm in Love by The Cure is a stripped-down take on their 1992 hit from the Wish album. Released as part of the 1993 compilation Acoustic Hits, it features Robert Smith's signature whimsical vocals over a simpler arrangement, emphasizing jangly guitar chords and a lighter, more intimate vibe compared to the upbeat, pop-driven original. The acoustic version keeps the song's infectious melody and romantic lyrics, but with a raw, unpolished feel that highlights its emotional core."

The Antlers - carnage, 2025

"Absolutely crazy, late-Low vibes in some parts. I'm happy to see Peter is again able to perform louder songs and reach his range again. I really root for The Antlers, I feel like they've got slowly forgotten, I really hope this fresh sound gets people interested and actually considers them outside Hospice."

Ride - end game, 2019

"This Is Not a Safe Place was a critical darling, praised for its lush production and emotional depth."
