Blogovision 2019 best albums of the decade, no.07: The Irrepressibles - Nude

If I asked you now
Will you be my prince
Will you lay down your armour
And be with me forever
When you open me
All the power in me moves
How you want to see
All the depths of me real
When you open me
All the power in me moves
I feel real

Lyrics from Two Men In Love by The Irrepressibles, from their album Nude

Blogovision 2019, no.10: Chrissie Hynde - Valve Bone Woe

I'm a fool to want you

To want a love that can't be true

A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you

Such a fool to hold you

To seek a kiss not mine alone

To share a kiss that Devil has known

Lyrics from I’m A Fool To Want You by Chrissie Hynde, from her album Valve Bone Woe

Blogovision 2019, no.12: Sudan Archives - Athena

I fell down
And started
Back up then seal the feeling
I’m too unique to kneel
I washed away my fears
And trust in my own ears
My own regret revealed

There is a place that I call home
But it's not where I am welcome
And if I saw all the angels
Why is my presence so painful?

Lyrics from Confessions by Sudan Archives, from her album Athena

Blogovision 2019, no.16: Purple Mountains - Purple Mountains

Friends are warmer than gold when you're old
And keeping them is harder than you might suppose
Lately, I tend to make strangers wherever I go
Some of them were once people I was happy to know

Lyrics from All My Happiness Is Gone by Purple Mountains from the album Purple Mountains

Blogovision 2018 no.05: Juliana Hatfield - ...Sings Olivia Newton-John

Where, where did my innocence go?

In the warmth of your arms

In the web of your lies

Lyrics from A Little More Love, by Juliana Hatfield, from her album Juliana Harfield sings Olivia Newton-John

Ya dijimos No

Pero el Si está en todo

We already said No!

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.18: Banks - Goddess

Lilith had left the studio early. She wanted to listen again to the album they had been mixing lately and was ready for release really soon. They were supposed to finish in April but it took them a while longer to finalize it. Jillian was always changing things, usually minute ones but they really made a difference once they listened to the revised track one more time. She kept on joking how she and Lilith were twins: they looked alike a bit, had the same hairstyle and wore similar outfits every single time, as if their minds were fine-tuned to the same wavelength. Even the album cover photographer had taken some shots of Lilith styled like Jillian. Or Banks, as her moniker was now. And naming the album Goddess of all things! Lilith's brother was of course ecstatic; he thought it was perfect, as that's how he called Jillian every time he met her. Lilith laughed silently to herself, put her headphones on and started that atmospheric journey once more.

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.19: Timber Timbre - Hot Dreams

Nadja banged the door behind her, threw her bag on the floor and went straight to the kitchen corner where the liquor was stashed. She picked the gin bottle and went over to the counter to make a huge gin and tonic. As if it wasn't enough that she was working as a stripper in that seedy nightclub, she had to meet the perfect guy right when she was gyrating on a pole. He had come over to film a video clip for his latest album - oh yes, he was a singer/songwriter this one. With a deep, sexy voice that tingled her spine and almost gave her an orgasm. And that music of his... oh my! It was as if each and every one of the songs in that damned album of his was written for her. She closed her eyes and tried to forget him. No such luck. Not with that funny nickname of his. Timber Timbre, huh! Nadja sure wanted to give him some Hot Dreams too.
