The Legendary Pink Dots - My Top 10 part 1

I'd first heard the magic of Edward Ka-Spel via The Tear Garden thanks to my college friend Jessica.  We'd met over her fascination of one of my Cure shirts.  I loved The Tear Garden and quickly learned of Ka-Spel's main project The Legendary Pink Dots.  What a world to immerse oneself into!  They've been going forever and continue to dazzle to this very day.  While they are one of the more experimental bands out there, I've always fancied their "poppier" tunes (obviously).  This was a long and exciting list to create as their catalog is deep & insane!  I present, My Top 10 Legendary Pink Dots tracks...

6.  As Long as It's Purple and Green



7.  Remember Me This Way



8.  Frosty



9.  True Love



10.  The More It Changes

Empress Of - Give Me Another Chance

Note from the Editor in Chief of Ooberus Oblivious:  Sorry for Ooberus Oblivious going black over the weekend!  We could blame Coronavirus, but the truth is Ooberus Headquarters moved over the weekend and we are without internet until Thursday!
As of today, we won't let that stop us from delivering the POP!

New Empress Of!!  She has a new album coming out soon and it's called "I'm Your Empress Of"!  Time to shake it!

Brorsson & Munther - Too Big Shoes

Here's the second track we're getting from Brorsson & Munther off their upcoming EP "Surrender to Love", out March 27!  For those not in the know, Brorsson & Munther is the new project from Stars in Coma frontman André Brorsson & one of his live band members Joel Munther!  Lead single "Dark Clouds" was a soaring pop number while this new track, though just as poppy, takes the tempo down a notch.  This EP is obviously going to be VERY good!
