#TuneTuesday (Jun 9)

Continuing the #PrideMonth 🏳️‍🌈 theme of featuring queer artists, here is “Closer” by Canadian twins Tegan and Sara. I love this 2013 synth-pop banger about desire, and I also love that they use their platform to advocate for #LGBTQIA+ causes. 💖

For #PrideMonth 🏳️‍🌈 I will feature songs by queer artists. First up is Adam Lambert’s cover of Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World”. I like the original, but Adam’s haunting and ethereal vocals really elevates his version to something deserving its own accolade.

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas are extraordinary musicians and their song “When the Party’s Over” is one of my favorite of theirs. The song sounds simple, but the multi-layered vocals and understated accompaniment serves to bring out the piece’s deep emotional story.

Lewis Capaldi uses his great voice to put out a bunch of hits and I like that he doesn’t let stardom get into his head and takes his mental and physical health seriously. Among his songs I’ve heard, “Forget Me” is easily my most favorite with his raspy vocals adding angst into the chorus.

Phil Collins, whether solo or with his band Genesis, has produced a lot really good songs. (His work on Tarzan was excellent!) But what I really like about his song “Take Me Home” is that it doesn’t sound like it’s from the 1980s especially with its breathy vocals in the chorus (with Sting and Peter Gabriel singing backup!).

I keep noticing the tab that's open in my browser from looking up recipes for Korean Samgyetang, and every time I see it, I start singing "Samgyetang!" to the tune of the new Netflix "Sandokan" theme song. 😂

How has a video platform which interrupts the stream every 3 minutes with an advert telling you to stop being so fat become the globe's go-to?
Yes, here I am trying to find #youtube help again, this time #piano tutorials

I've had some #michaelmcdonald #earworms this week and thought I'd try learning to play a few to expunge them. Probably won't achieve the goal but I'd like to have a repertoire which has to start somewhere and I can't get this out of my head anyway, so...

This unexpected collaboration between Charlie Puth and Utada Hikaru is so good! Charlie is a great musician and him teaming up with one of the biggest and veteran J-pop artists produced this very chill English–Japanese song.

My son's orthodontist has a muzak system in their office, heavy on earworms from the 70s and 80s: Chris Cross, Boz Scaggs, Seals & Crofts, stuff like that. Two days after a visit, I've got Billy Ocean still rattling around in my mind.
