So here’s my first songpile of the year, title based on mishearing the title of Chappell Roan’s (fabulous) “Red Wine Supernova”… (which was on my prior songpile, not this one. It’s a Houses of the Holy situation.)
This is stuff that might be new, might not, or might just have newly caught my ear, carefully segued into an alluring sandwich [note to self: “Alluring Sandwich” is not a good title] of sound! Or something.
Here’s the first half:
- Wishy “Spinning” (0.00)
- Paul McCartney “Growing Up Falling Down” (3.27)
- East of Eden “Bathers” (6.22)
- Sinéad O’Connor “Lullaby for Cain” (11.22)
- Feeble Little Horse “Steamroller” (14.48)
- Hotline TNT “History Channel” (18.09)
- Pete Atkin “The Wristwatch for a Drummer” (20.50)
- Dora Jar “Puppet” (25.45)
- Colin Newman “Cut the Slack” (28.58)
- Deafheaven “Great Mass of Colour” (32.52)
- Deeper “Build a Bridge” (38.52)
- Bodega “City Is Taken”
And, logically enough, the second half:
- Gaz Coombes “Turn the Car Around” (0.00)
- Nicole Atkins “The Way It Is” (3.37)
- Vampire Weekend “Gen-X Cops” (7.07)

- Mdou Moctar “Funeral for Justice” (22.52)
- St. Vincent “Broken Man” (25.57)
