Hawksley Workman - Smoke Baby (Rock Mix)

Courtesy of

helvetius. Responsible for me using "cocaine in Montreal" as an MSN handle for, er, a few hours? XD As paeans to soul-destroying hedonism go this sure is instantaneously catchy - and sadly it even reminds me of people I know.

Smoke baby, smoke baby, more alcohol baby
Cocaine in Montreal and back out on the plane baby
An early flight will leave and on it will be me, yeah
I'll be half-asleep and you'll get up at three

Prince - Joy In Repetition

The first time I heard this song I kept it on repeat for, like, a week. Scorching blues guitar and lyrics like a Kim Addonizio poem; it's about sex and nightlife, of course, but more than that it's about Passion. Capitalized, the definition of. Play in a dark room if you can, or close your eyes or do whatever you have to do just to listen for five minutes.
