Last night I had a dream that Billy Bragg was a singing a song with the chorus, “I’m walking down the street / Drinking strawberry soda / With the vampire boy.” It was loosely set to the tune of “Another Nail for My Heart” by Squeeze.
The trouble is, aside from the hook, I can’t remember exactly what it sounded like. So I’d like to announce a contest: any musicians reading this should record a version of the song from my dream! Just turn that lyric above into a song and send it to me and I’ll post it. I’m 99 percent sure no one will do this, but oh man, if someone does then it’ll be great. Bonus points if you sing it in a Billy Bragg accent.
Here’s a quirky electro rocker by Vancouver’s bradley. The song’s called “Your Money,” and its comes across as a slightly more aggressive take on ’80s post-punk, with spastic beats and harsh, distorted guitars. There’s a lot of people doing the new wave revival thing, but not many who make it sound quite as jittery or hyper-caffeinated as bradley. If you like this tune, check out his recent MountainTigerWolf.
