Siouxsie and the Banshees - My Top 10 - Part 2

And here are my Top 5 oh so dreamy Siouxsie & the Banshees tracks!

1.  Dazzle



2.  The Last Beat of My Heart



3.  Forever



4.  Cities in Dust



5.  Kiss Them for Me

Siouxsie and the Banshees - My Top 10 - Part 1

Many (most?) would call me a casual Siouxsie and the Banshees fan but truth is I love them.  So it's only a limited section of their music that I love, I still do!  So what if I say "The Rapture" is my favorite album of theirs!  It's only because I can't say "Twice Upon a Time: The Singles" really is my favorite "album"!!  Siouxie is just a force.  Her voice is powerful and primal.  The dark, gothy nature of their pop is just inherently me!  I hope Siouxsie is living and loving life out on "Siouxsie's Farm" and I hope you enjoy this Top 10!

6.  Shadowtime



7.  Peek-a-Boo



8.  Face to Face



9.  Dizzy



10.  Love Out Me

  

Tei Shi - Die 4 Ur Love

I posted about Tei Shi's new EP "Die 4 Ur Love" last week and she's now given us a lovely video for the title track!  I'm loving all these quarantine videos that are coming out!

Ferns - Auf Wiedersehen

It's been a very long time since Ferns gave us new music.  They're back with a new EP "Navalgazing" and it sounds like it's going to be more jangly pop goodness!!

Austra - I Am Not Waiting

My favorite track from Austra's new album "HiRUDiN" has gotten an awesome video!

Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure?

A SECOND video for one of the raddest songs of the year!  While this one isn't as great as the 1st "dance video" version, it doesn't matter because this song is bad ass and demands TWO videos!!  If you haven't heard Jessie Ware's new album "What's Your Pleasure?", you are missing out on greatness. 

Two People - Someone to Serve

This new Two People track is good!
Their new album "Second Body" is out at the end of the month!

Madonna - My Top 10 - Part 2

I forgot to mention yesterday that I even had a pet mouse named Madonna because they danced to "Music" whenever I played it!  True story...or am I starting to lose my shit too???

1.  Burning Up



2.  Dress You Up



3.  Deeper and Deeper



4.  True Blue



5.  Music

Madonna - My Top 10 - Part 1

In honor of her most recent bat shit craziness, I feel it is necessary to post the only other diva (after Vanessa), that I could complete a true Top 10 .
In spite of all her recent nutso comments/posts and multiple poor releases over the last several years, Madonna did rule the school of pop at one time.
Of all the Divas, Madonna is the one whose career I've actually followed and whose music I listen to regularly.  The first two CDs I ever owned were Violent Femmes' "Violent Femmes" and Madonna's "Erotica" (Thanks Grandma & Grandpa!)  Not to mention my dear friend Steve's obsession with her that always kept her on my radar.
While she's probably doomed to never get any more sane, I'll choose to remember that she once made music as amazing as the following 10 tunes...

6.  Lucky Star



7.  Frozen



8.  Open Your Heart



9.  Hanky Panky



10.  Cherish
