Music What are we listening to?

RIP Mark Lanegan. I hadn’t heard of him when he died. He was only 57 when he died, which is too young, but how he died is a mystery (no cause of death was revealed, something I really hate, even though I know it’s about privacy).
A lifetime of hard drug and alcohol abuse undoubtedly weakened him and left him exposed to the Covid-19 infection which left him hospitalized for a few months, induced coma for part of it. It's known that his kidneys were in bad shape when he was in hospital, requiring dialysis. While he was eventually released from hospital the rumour is he was in slow organ failure and committed suicide.

feck. Sounds rough.
 
There's a new album out by a lad called Sam Barber called Restless Mind and I absolutely love it. I don't remember an album striking a chord with me as much as this one in a long time.

 
The new Father John Misty album is pretty great. Feel bad for him that it came out the same day as Kendrick's surprise drop.
 
Dodgy christmas songs:

This bitch wants a car and yacht.

Santa baby, just slip a Sable under the tree for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fella's that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you check off my Christmas list
Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Meanwhile:
George wants a man undercover, but you tore me apart
Ooh-ooh

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face-on lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart
Ooh-ooh
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
 
Akon in is kind of dorky cool but actually cool cool at the same time. Tribute. Party vibes whenever his music is around. So many memories of cheesy nightclubs. :)
