Kings of convenience – Misread


It was another day of torrential, almost biblical rain today in London. This is a very sootheing song and that isn’t the worst kind of song to listen to on such a day.

Kings of convenience are from Norway. Scandanavia really seems to punch above it’s weight musically. Certainly in music that speaks to me anyway.

This track is taken from the wonderfully titled Riot on an empty street, which also features a couple of collaborations with Canadian artist Leslie Feist of Broken Social Scene fame.

Prefab Sprout – Cars and girls

This is classic 80’s and one that I have wanted to post for a while. It is a bit cheesy but I find it irresistible. Hiding beneath that cheesy, breezy chorus are actually some very clever lyrics.

Some things hurt more, much more than cars and girls…
