Paramore - This Is Why


The title track from Paramore's sixth album released earlier this year in February, this is a surprisingly infectious slice of post-punk (echoes of Gang of Four, and Talking Heads at least to my ears). Mind you, I'm not at all familiar with Paramore except for tracks like "Only Exception", and having heard labels like "emo" thrown around when mentioning them, this track is not at all what I would have expected from them.

Sinead O'Connor, R.I.P.


Sinead, you will be missed.

The one that started it all:

from the LP, The Lion and The Cobra"

One of my faves:

from the LP, "I Do Not Want What I Havent Got"

I love the following duet with Shane McGowan of The Pogues:

from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, "Two If By Sea"

The following is also a duet, and one I had only discovered when Terry Hall passed away in December 2022:

from the LP,"Collaborations"

Her interpretation of this Disney classic was sweet:

from the compilation album,"Stay Awake: Various Interpretations of Music from Vintage Disney Films"
