Not all Blue Friday tunes sound maudlin on first listen - they're not all minor key, slow contemplative spirals. Take today's: You Got Me Wonderin' Now, recorded in 2013 by NYC four-piece Parquet Courts under their pseudonym Parkay Quarts. It buzzes along with joyous energy (or nihilist abandon, perhaps), all motorik drums and garage band guitar chords you can count on the legs of the nearest available tripod. Ah, but those lyrics - here's someone who's been hurt, badly... and decided to sing about it...
Seasick's better than heartsick, baby, I know that much by now And I thought I knew nausea from sea to cars but You've got me wonderin' now
Blimey - what did they do to him? We're all wonderin' now...
A glorious blue noise, and I love, love, love it.
