A special recommendation in light of Dean's birthday. This is his theme tune. Forever.

Your Ghost
by Kristin Hersh (feat. Michael Stipe)
"I think last night
You were driving circles
Around me"

I keep wanting to post more Martha Wainwright. Somebody hold me back! So here I am with another female singer/songwriter. I stumbled over Kirsten Hersh when dad was getting me to sell a bunch of his albums on amazon (none of which sold, sadly).

Anyway, what I really love about her is how she uses her guitar - it works really beautifully within the song. Also!! Michael Stipe's voice fits with hers in a really eerie sort of way which suits the mood of the song. It's a brilliant duet and really worth giving a listen!

Try Not To Breathe
by REM
"I have seen things that you will never see..."

I was listening to this song in the car with my dad today. It brought back a lot of memories of being smaller because dad used to play a lot of REM when I was younger. I suppose that is my favourite thing about this song - the sentimental value it has. Having said that, I love Michael Stipe's voice - the vocals in this song are beautiful.

Everybody Wants To Rule The World
by Tears For Fears
"Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure"

This is totally my sort of thing. I love songs like this from the 80's goldmine. The synthesisers in this song make my ears very happy.

When the Day is Short
by Martha Wainwright
"And I don't care if you love me tomorrow
Just love me tonight"

On holiday, I listened to a lot of Martha Wainwright so here is a song from her first album; her best album.

Sadly, you will spend the next few days without any suggestions.

by Cockney Rebel

And pulled the Rebel to the floor"
