OK, holiday over. Now, I'm going to get medical attention.. A good ENT doctor is squeezing me in this morning, and we'll see if we can fix this thing quickly...
Stop This Motion From Slowing
Music Countdown 2007 - My Favorite Albums continues...
#6 - Emma Pollock - "Watch The Fireworks"
Sound: Singer/songwriter genre with both melodies and song structure that are unusual but all the more endearing.
What’s So Special: The melodies! The lyrics! Back-to-back singles that grab your attention with joy from the first note.
Favorite Lyrics: ‘Set up the day / give it away / don't stop this motion from slowing;’ 2) 'When it raises its head and it threatens to stay / don't give the game away'
Fun Facts: 1) Pollock was lead singer of Delgados, a quirky, charming and subvervise Scottish indie-pop band; her ex-bandmates feature prominently on this album, and create perhaps their best work to date; 2) “Adrenaline” was my official fall theme song; alas, I first had it in my head on a chilly night with no coat on, beginning a 10 week cycle of being sick 2/3 of the time; :- (
And here's the music:
Emma Pollock’s song and video ‘Acid Test’ are instantly memorable:
Emma unplugged – here she is live with the ballad ‘Limbs’ – I heard this at Starbucks last week!!!!
