Radiohead
I’ve heard this Radiohead song before. It’s most Radiohead songs. With only a couple exceptions.

David Bowie
From Young Americans to The Worst version of Across the Universe ever.
How can such a great talent be so extremely hot or cold?

Listened while transferring a batch of beer from fermenter to keg. It did not distract me from anything I needed to pay attention to, so that’s a plus.
I expected to want to turn this off, but it wasn’t that offensive, and if I’m being honest, I may have enjoyed a track or 2. Not that I looked up from what I was doing to check the song names.
It’s not anything I’ll go back to intentionally.

Elvis Costello & The Attractions
It’s crazy how prolific Elvis Costello was and how high the quality of his records were in the early years. Yet another excellent record mixing pop hooks, his brilliant lyrics, inimitable vocals, and punk influence on the edges.

Haircut 100
Funky, rhythm driven pop with lots of sax and horn and Chic / Nile Rodgers style guitar. Sometimes has a little Latin flair. Plus I like marimba.
This didn’t come across as New Wave to me: there’s no edginess, no heavy synth. Just bright, fun pop.
I liked this way more than I thought I would.
