Song title: Everybody Moves
Artist: Died Pretty
Year: 1989
Why I like this song:
R.I.P. Ron S Peno
Much has already been written how Died Pretty was a band that should've gotten huge so i won't reiterate such matters. But what I will say is that this song is indeed a gem and sounds pretty much like itself - as in, completely unrelated to what else was happening at the time.
And is all the better for it.
Song title: I Wonder
Artist: Rodriguez
Year: 1970
Why I like this song:
R.I.P. Sixto Rodriguez
I think it's far to say that the documentary Searching for Sugar Man has done a monumental job of bringing awareness to the music of Rodriguez. Personally, I knew of the story well enough before i heard the man's music. And the story was potent enough to make me see the man when he performed live in Hobart. And there I was won over with his space presence and snappy songs.
I like this one the best due to to the bassline and the witty observations our man Sixto is making
