The Sandman Chronicles on Poplie Radio - 24/12/2017 - my top-20 albums of 2017

Blogovision 2017, no.1: LCD Soundsystem - American Dream

Standing on the shore, facing east

I can't feel you

Standing on the shore, facing east

Your impermanence

You're taking water

Listing lazily out of view

I remember when we were friends

I remember calling you friend

Lyrics from How Do You Sleep? by LCD Soundsystem

from their album American Dream

Blogovision 2017, no.02: Sufjan Stevens, Nico Muhly, Bryce Dessner, James McAlister - Planetarium

And I am sorry

And all that I've known to be at peace

And I am desperate

You ran off with it all

And I am restless

And all that I've known to be of love

And I am gentle

You ran off with it all

And I am desperate

And all that I dream

Where do you run, where do you run to?

Lyrics from Mercury by

Sufjan Stevens, Nico Muhly, Bryce Dessner, James McAlister

from their album Planetarium

Blogovision 2017, no.03: Tori Amos - Native Invader

We may just survive

If the Militia of the Mind

Arm against those climate blind

Desert Sister

I'll be breaking in

Desert Sister

To break you out

Knowledge sown in Gaia's bones

Lyrics from Up The Creek by Tori Amos, from her album Native Invader

Blogovision 2017, no.04: St. Vincent - Masseduction

Black saint, sinner lady

Playin' knockoff soul

A punk rock romantic

Slumped on the kitchen floor

Nuns in stress position

Smokin' Marlboros

Lolita is weeping

The bride is beautiful

Masseduction

Masseduction

I can't turn off what turns me on

Masseduction

I can't turn off what turns me on

Masseduction

I hold you like a weapon

Mass destruction

I don't turn off what turns me on

...Oh, what a bore to be so adored

Lyrics from Masseduction by St. Vincent, from her album Masseduction
