Charles Mingus – Fables of Faubus: 8
It apparently has a serious genesis, but the end result sounds curiously bouncy and dare I say fun. Though I think there is a version with lyrics as well.

D’Angelo - Smooth: 5
I don't know what it is with D'Angelo, but his music sounds so directionless to me. I can't get into it.

I know it is not the most original piece of indie rock out there, but somehow this song hits a certain melodic sweet spot for me. Irresistible.

That Petrol Emotion - Swamp: 7
Can we appreciate how the word swamp has a sucking sound that almost feels that it wants you to get stuck in it's swampy substance? It's a great word and this song really does it just. It's a very straightforward rocker, but a good one.

Safetycat has already given us three Decemberist tracks. Not this time, but considering we already had three Gorillaz songs before this (not from Safetycat’s list) it still feels as another re-hash.

961. Gorillaz – Re-Hash
Year: 2001
Album: Gorillaz
Biggest Fan: Safetycat (#951)

Today’s song was a headscratcher for a while, because cetamol reversed the artist name and song title, while also offering three translations/ spellings for both name and title, none of which corresponded spellings online. I’m hoping I have all the info alright now and that indeed it isn’t on Spotify.

963. Younès Mégri – Leïli twil
Year: 1973
Released as a single
Biggest Fan: cetamol (#687)

Three days (well actually four) of the se7en:

Younès Mégri – Leïli twil: 7
Needed a few listens, but eventually I felt it's romantic sweep.

Sea Pinks – Dream Happening: 7
Good jangly tune.

Alex Lloyd - Amazing: 7
Close to mawkish and corny, but somehow just not. "Amazing" is strong word for it though.
