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.

Madeleine Peyroux featuring k.d. lang – River
Unseasonal, but it’s in my head, a Joni Mitchell Domino effect.
Joni Mitchell – Big Yellow Taxi
Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone.
The Elgins – Heaven Must Have Sent You
Sweet (Northern) Soul Music. Happy Saturday, y’all!
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.
This song is rattling round my brain this morning, and it’s so hard to listen to.
Marvin Gaye – Ain’t That Peculiar
For some reason I always thought this song was by Smokey!
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.
Leon Bridges – Better Man
Going to see this future superstar at King Tut’s tonight. Doo wop soul goodness.
