Catching up after days of Christmas and several visits.

Kero Kero Bonito – Make Believe: 6
You can count the amount of times I heard Kero Kero Benito on one hand, but every time I did listen to them I ended up being surprised they aren't an indie band that embrace their weirdness. The look of their album covers and their name just allude to something more than we get. This is standard synth pop for the late 2010's. It's fine, but it will probably end up being one of those entries I have forgotten when this project is all said and done.

Scott & Charlene’s Wedding – Don’t Bother Me: 6
Indie rock in the Pavement tradition. Fine, but unremarkable. It don't bother me, I guess.

Dr. Hook – Sharing the Night Together: 7
Not my type of song usually, but somehow it hits a strange sweet spot that is very relaxing.

Axel Bauer – Cargo: 6
The extensive musical workout in the second half saves this from becoming just another new wave/ synth pop song.

The song of yesterday seems to have kickstarted of a string French song selections. Okay, only the title of today’s song is French. Okay, only half of the title. Elder is from Brazil, not from France, so don’t blame him.

340. Madonna – Mer Girl
Year: 1998
Album: Ray of Light
Biggest Fan: Elder (#330)

Madonna – Mer Girl: 7
This came as a surprise. I never heard the album Ray of Light, but I already liked singles like the title track and Frozen a lot more than any of those plastic songs from the eighties, but I still didn't expect a song like Mer Girl, that has lyrics that seem like they belong to some kind of gothic folk song. Her singing is also much better in this era. The song suffers a little from a stop-start structure, but otherwise it is a nice surprise.

Did you know that arguably the most famous Celtic punk band, Dropkick Murphys, aren’t from any of the Celtic countries, but are from the US? They even made a song about their home state, which appeared on acroamor’s list. Also, to my surprise, the Murphys aren’t on AM at all yet. Not exactly the first Celtic-associated group I’ve noticed this of.

341. Dropkick Murphys – The State of Massachusetts
Year: 2007
Album: The Meanest of Times
Biggest Fan: acroamor (#257)

Dropkick Murphys – The State of Massachusetts: 7
When you want to take stories about mothers who lose custody over their children to the pub, this should be your go to song. Weird song and subject mix, but the Murphys do sell it.

Go-Go’s – Head over Heels: 7
It's somewhat exhilarating in the way it seems to barrel on.

Hole – Northern Star: 8
A sort of alternative rock song that even reaches towards Nick Cave territory in it's lyrics. Not something I expected from hole and all the better for it.

Broken Bells – Holding on for Life: 7
As if someone mixed an eighties pop song with a BeeGees disco track of the seventies and added some touches that are very 2013 to it. It works rather well, as it makes for a catchy song.

Chris Isaak – Go Walking Down There: 6
The Roy Orbison-like croon seemed to have vanished by this time of his career (I only know his famous eighties cuts), but he still has a more powerful voice than your average rocker. The song itself isn't too remarkable, though I might have rated it a little higher if it wasn't for the "Everybody-is-happier-than-I-am" lyrics.
