“You Gave Me the Key” – Julie Doiron
\nA bright, sassy, fun song. Perfect for summer!<\/p>\n
“She Still Leads Me On” – The London Suede
\nThe London Suede had one great song in the ’90s (“The Drowners”), a lot of hype, and not much else. At least here in the US. So this brand new song from them floored me. I never would have expected them to make a song this good 30 years after their brief moment of international success.<\/p>\n
“Way I Go” – Gordi “Window” – Dehd “Summer Breeze” – Seals and Crofts
\nI haven’t listened to much of Gordi’s music. Although last year, her duet with Alex Lahey, “Dino’s,” landed on my Favorite Songs of the Year list<\/a>. Apparently she’s also a medical doctor. Should I ask my wife why she’s not recording music in addition to her medical responsibilities?<\/p>\n
\nDehd’s new album, Blue Skies<\/em>, got really good reviews. I only liked a couple of the songs; most of those shared this general vibe.<\/p>\n
\nRIP to Jim Seals, who died this week at age 80.<\/p>\n
