“ Downed “
Cheap Trick
the first power pop group to naturally lock into my tastes at an early age.
(pls : nobody to mention that this album nears 50 years)
thusly, ends this collection from North America.

“ Miracle Drug“
A.C. Newman
is it ok to like this album more than any New Pornographer album? I think it's alright.

“ Give It “
Lambchop
the synthpop-adjacent recorded version is given a bit more powerful rendition live. ( the vocal melody segment with Talking Heads' lyrics is superbe.)

“ About Today “
The National
the live version is *the* version, isn't?
ohmy that's 3 Brooklyn bands in a row. this is allowed, no?

self-aware apt title, while getting the hashtag wrong for the first 3 postings in this set.
not sure if contagious… by reading this. beware.

“ Heartbeat City “
The Cars
it is nice when a group snaps back with a superb album, and for me, this is a top track that sits nicely with songs from the first two albums.

“ Stay Where You Are “
Ambulance Ltd
the band disappeared… kind of a Pink Floyd's « Meddle » era pop-songs: apt that they covered " Fearless " from the album.
not long ago, I heard the solo record... but nah. this output of 1 LP and EPs is tops too.

“ Goodnight for Real “
Beauty Pill
time is lacking to do music challenges, but… playing this song yesterday made me think of a few to share under this theme.
(and found out about a re-release! so much winning)
