Hayley Coupon - Feels Like We Only Go Backwards (Tame Impala cover)
Even now, moving on towards a year after its release, I kind of feel like I need to explain — like I need to somehow justify — not liking Tame Impala’s Lonerism.
It’s not that I dislike the record. On paper it’s pretty much exactly my kind of thing, but after a fair number of listens scattered across a number of months the record just leaves me flat every time.
But for one reason or another I ended up listening to Hayley Coupon’s take on this song anyway, and I was immediately smitten.
It’s a casual, loose recording. Hayley’s voice is lovely. Simple instrumentation and arrangement. The whole thing just breathes.
Listen.
Happy cover Friday.

Sesame Street Launches Multimedia Project for Children Who Have a Parent in Prison
I’ve lost count of the number of reasons that Sesame Street is awesome, but now there’s another one.
Bardo Pond - Tantric Porno
I’ve been feeling off lately: misaligned, stretched thin.
This song, to me, starts with that feeling and proceeds to transform it into something that is very different and of epic scale.

Songs: Ohia - Farewell Transmission
Long day, tired, afternoon music.
What the hell is up with Friday the 14th? That’s just unsettling.
