Choon of the Month: Feels Like We Only Go Backwards


Original video located here. Accessed 9th November 2012

Song title: Feels Like We Only Go Backwards

Artist: Tame Impala

Year: 2012

Why I like this song:

...so.... much...psychedelic....

I admit: I've been sceptical about Tame Impala before but hearing this has brought about a reconsideration. Why? Put simply: This sounds like it stands on it's own plane of existence. And I will champion anything that beats to the sound of it's own drum and refuses to buck to trends.

Why I like this song:

I will always have a soft spot for this song as I will forever associate it with my grade six leavers dinner.
Okay so the above video may have a different intention but you can't deny the romanticism behind this song.

This Song Rocks: Clair De Lune


Original video located here. Accessed 16th November 2012

Song title: Clair De Lune

Artist: Flight Facilities

Year: 2012

Why I like this song:

Hypnotic doesn't begin to describe it. 
I like songs that encourage the listener to be drawn and go on their own journey with it. And this is one such song.

The Asian Connection: Days


Original video located here. Accessed 10th July 2013

Song title: Days

Artist: FLOW

Year: 2005

Why I like this song:

Never seen the anime Eureka 7 (Edit: And of 2024, I still haven't) but I was sold on this opening.
It must be the effort of doing a seventies sound, what with the strings and guitar. 
And hey, it works.
