Caetano Veloso – Nothing but Flowers

Number three in my Joni Mitchell domino earworm. This was written by David Byrne as a response to Big Yellow Taxi. I love Caetano Veloso’s interpretation. Joyous and sweet.

Unseasonal, but it’s in my head, a Joni Mitchell Domino effect.

Amy Winehouse – Love is a Losing Game

Last night I went to see Asif Kapadia’s excellent documentary Amy. I left the cinema saddened by the cult of “celebrity culture” and how it can so easily aid self destruction.

Alabama Shakes – Don’t Wanna Fight

I may have been singing along and dancing at the side of the stage to this yesterday. The way Brittany comes into this song is spine tingling.
