Let's flog this blog series dead horse, with a third and final batch of posts featuring songs that have a day of the week in the title. No prizes for noticing today is Wednesday.
Turns out that after Tuesdays and Thursdays, Wednesday is the next hardest day to find songs for, so here are some barrel scrapings deep cuts. Let's start with Highasakite, a sort of Norwegian First Aid Kit, and their song Since Last Wednesday, from the 2013 album Silent Treatment.
Next up, a song called simply Wednesday, by a band called Concorde. I know nothing about them, they don't even have a Wikipedia page, but I did find this on Bandcamp which suggests Concorde were Javier Garavito and Shane Small from Seattle. Their sole album Mess I'm Made Of included this track, and was released in 2006. To me it starts off sounding like it's going to be an all-out assault on mainstream FM, but takes a slightly darker, downbeat turn. Ish.
To end today let's have a slab of Wannadies, all the way back from 1994. Dreamy Wednesdays came from their third album, Be A Girl, and has a lovely mid-90s scuzziness to the guitars, plus some swooping strings ... because they're dreamy, right? Oh, and it possibly goes on 45 seconds or so too long, I reckon. What do you think?
Tomorrow, Thursday. Be there or be ... elsewhere.
Missed that you'd come back for a third outing with this series.
ReplyDeleteHighasakite (took me a while to get that - thought it was a Norwegian word for something) and Concorde sound just as you'd expect them to, coming from where they do. As for the Wannadies yes it does go on a bit and not my thing really. Of the three I like the Concorde Wednesday song best.
I couldn't keep away Alyson - this is definitely the final iteration though.
