Love Songs (with a Twist)

Sometimes love isn't pretty. It's not neat and it's not text book. Sometimes, it's downright dirty and a bit creepy. That being said, here are my Top 5 Love Songs (with a Twist).


5.  Sarah Mclachlan - Possession
What could be more dangerous than stalking?  This song was actually based off letters Sarah received from a deranged stalker who sued her for intellectual copyright infringement and then committed suicide.


4.  The Pet Shop Boys - You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk
So many relationships are built on this type of jilted logic.  It's just so easy to get wrapped up in this type of thing.


3.  Nick Cave and  Kylie Minogue - Where The Wild Roses Grow
Two of the most incredible voices/performers ever and they are together.  Love is deadly in this not so typical love song.


2.  The Smiths - Girlfriend In A Coma
I don't feel there's a need to justify the magnificence that is Morrissey.


1.  Scissor Sisters - She's My Man
I dare you to find another song that represents a codependent/crazy in love/totally not good for you love song.

Kylie Minogue - Timebomb

In preparation for the K25 events, Kylie has released a new single and video called "Timebomb". It was rumored this was going to be on an album accompanying the tour this summer but as of right now, it's just a single. It was released on May 25th (Get it, 25 years in the business, released May 25...) and has amassed over a million hits on YouTube. The video shows Kylie cavorting all over Soho and showing the world that generally she is still relevant and mostly more relevant than other artists in the industry that have shared her longevity. I am a fan of the song and of the video. I think there is something tremendous about Kylie and I hope that she is making music for years to come.

Top 25 Musical Happenings of 2010

I decided to compile a list of the most important things to happen in the music world for me this year. They aren't specifically my top albums or singles, it's a little bit of everything. I hope you take a minute to read over my list to see what moved me musically this year and I hope that maybe I get to introduce you to something you've never heard before.
