ordinary pop songs and why they're great.

Oh it's been so long since I posted anything that I haven't a clue what font I use or anything. So that's style out the window (if it was ever "in the window"). Anyway, laughingly I like to think what I lack in style I more than make up for in substance, hahahahahahahahaha....

Oh yes, the point - getting back to that - music, songs, of course. Well today, I have been drawn back to the 45s project by a "what I'm obsessing over right now" type song. I have no idea whether it was ever a single, but it's probably now welded into my mercurial personal top 20. It's "Big Exit" by PJ Harvey. I feel I should always have been into old Polly Jean, fascinating image and a pure original but I've yet to really explore the whole back catalogue. This one came to my attention from a repeated performance on "Later..". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4kTMYhY2ds

I can't actually listen to it enough (obsession really should be my middle name). It never fails to send exactly the same shivers down my spine. It's captures the point of pop/rock/whatever-it-is music entirely and perfectly.
