U2 - Love Is Blindness

Murray A. Lightburn - Belleville Blues
One of my favorite voices in music, Murray A. Lightburn (of The Dears), is releasing his 2nd solo album next year. It's called "Hear Me Out" and this is our first delectable bite!

Zeigeist - Pressurized Chamber
Zeigeist popped into my head the other day and I just had to listen to their fantastic (and only) album "The Jade Motel", my 2008 Album of the Year! Then I checked Ooberus Oblivious and noticed that I've never shared my favorite song by this amazing, though short-lived band! So for today's Flashback Sunday, I present the glorious "Pressurized Chamber"! This track resonated on a deep level with me back then and holds a deep place in my heart. I wish I could find live footage from the time I actually got to see Zeigeist LIVE during my one and only trip to Sweden (so far!). They performed this track so beautifully. Zeigeist, come back! Pearl Fiction (post-Zeigeist solo project), come back!! PLEASE!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Red Sleeping Beauty - Ruin My Life
Red Sleeping Beauty have an awesome new song for us, this time as a cover of Zara Larsson's "Ruin My Life"! There's no doubt which version I prefer!! They give the chorus so much more POP here!!

J Mascis - Elastic Days
I didn't know who J Mascis was before hearing that Dina Martina was in one of his videos. I now know. Dina Martina is a star! Her head turns in this video are epic and perfection!!

Edson - Sunday, Lovely Sunday
There's no better Sunday song than this and it's perfect for my Flashback Sunday!!
Edson are no longer and it's been quite awhile since we've heard from their lead singer Pelle Carlberg, who went solo after the band. He and the band made some great indie pop albums and this is a perfect example...

They Might Be Giants - They'll Need a Crane
I have loved They Might Be Giants for A LONG, LONG TIME. The flood gates were opened when I first heard them on Tiny Toons back in high school and I rushed out to buy the "Flood" cassette (alongside The Cure's amazing "Standing on a Beach" compilation)!! The boys are still going strong today and I've been listening to them A LOT this past week. Here's an all-time favorite...
