Listen, this ain’t a hot take, and I’m pretty behind on this tune- but as far as song-titles that start with “I wanna” go… this is currently in the 12th inning overtime with I Wanna Be Your Dog by The Stooges. Seriously, the only thing I dont like about this song is that it ends. The Roses could go in and out of jams for 20 minutes using Ian Brown’s chant as a refrain and I‘d be listening to it all day. It’s crazy. the music just comes at you like an airborne toxic event and overtakes you. The magic of the mix, I guess. I still don’t think that their self titled is deserving of the best british album of all time. Madchester was a cute moment though. Whatever this is, need more now.
probably the seminal sugarcubes song, “birthday” is a perfect mix of angst and earnestness. a weird girl anthem, especially if you were once a little girl who liked to dig holes and play with bugs in the yard. one of my favorite bjork vocal performances of all time. i think everyone should listen to this during a storm and whilst eating a sticky piece of fruit.
