Song title: (Its) Never Too Late
Artist: Ed Kuepper
Year: 2015
Why I like this song:
One that snuck in at the end of the year.
I am quite the fan of Ed Kuepper and am always interested in what he does. And this proves that he is still quite capable of pulling out some surprises: It's just him and his guitar and it works wonders. The atmospherics add plenty to the song and I certainly agree with the lyrical sentiments.
Seems there's still life in the old dog yet...

Song title: Redheads, Gold Cards and Long Black Limousines
Artist: Tex Don and Charlie
Year: 1993
Why I like this song:
So I've been listening to the Tex Don and Charlie album Sad But True recently.
Supergroups have a dubious reputation but this is one that genuinely feels like a meeting of minds. It sounds different to what these gentlemen would normally do.
I am in favour of songs that require a certain mood and this is one for summer evenings at dusk, when the sun has gone down and the last rays of sunshine are left.
Also props to having one of the best opening liens I've ever heard.
Song title: Motteke! Sailor Fuku
Artist: Aya Hirano, Emiri Katou, Kaori Fukuhara and Aya Endo
Year: 2007
Why I like this song:
I recall back in 2008, I went to Amaranth - a ball put on by the people behind the Melbourne Anime convention Manifest. And I recall this was played and everyone went nuts.
Recently I watched the anime Lucky Star and was reminded of this infectious gem. I may have talked some anime songs being difficult to resist but this must be the lord high emperor of them all. It must be that energy (fitting that it's based around a cheerleader chant)
