Catfish and the Bottlemen - Cocoon

| Kerri
I fell straight into your arms
Like a drunk who’s been on it
All morning, and the sun’s up
And my head’s fucked
And immediately I grabbed you
You go all red like the first time
I love it when you do that
God, I love it when you do that.
I remember when we

Swapped names and I thought maybe
You’d stay and try to out-drink me
And your friends all hated it
But fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind
Than let you down

I cocoon round your shoulders
When you're half cut, and you're frozen
And you've got that visible breathin'
You're dependin' on me again

We're going to see UK's CatB tonight with some friends and I figured it was a good time to add my favorite track of theirs from their debut album. (I think "Soundcheck" is still my over-all fave.) Fun facts: Did you know that the BRIT award for Best Breakthrough Act went to Van and the band last year (2016)? And did you know that the lead singer was named for Van Morrison? (His dad's pick won out over mom's "Ryan" for day-to-day life.) You probably DID already know that they stole their band name off of an infamous Sydney busker who plays music on beer bottles. Anyway, TGIF!

Temple Of The Dog - Hunger Strike

| Keith
I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouth of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already over-filled
But it's on the table.
The fire's cooking.
And they're farming babies
While the slaves are all working.
Blood is on the table.
The mouths are choking
And I'm going hungry
I'm going hungry

RIP Chris Cornell. Death came for you way, way too early.

Monogrenade - Ce soir

| Keith
Ce soir j'te fait danser
J'te jure j'te fait danser
J'tai pas oublié
C'est juste que ça me hante
Que tu me vois étrange
Qu'un jour on se réveille

I've been wanting to share this wonderful song from Montreal's Monogranade for awhile now. They do have an English version of the song, "We Will Be Free" but even though I can't understand a lick of it, I like the original French. Most of their other music has a similar atmospheric and sophisticated feel that's really chill.

The stop-motion video for "Ce soir" is also excellent. Check it out:
