Songs of the Week: Feb 01 - 07, 2021
“Parking Lot” by The Weather Station
Not only did The Weather Station release her brand new album, Ignorance, last Friday, but also a new video for “Parking Lot”. With vulnerable vocals and heartbreaking lyrics juxtaposed with the dancey beat, if you like this song then you’re going to love the rest of the album (it’s really good). - Kirk
“Take Me Home” by Shred Kelly
To kick off their latest “virtual tour”, Shred Kelly dropped a brand new video for last year’s “Take Me Home” from their album Like A Rising Sun. The video is touching look at band member Tim Newton’s late father Bud, and one of the most creative “lyric videos” I’ve seen. Check it out, and then join Shred Kelly online every Saturday for the rest of the month. - Kirk
“Pre Post-Period Blues” by Bad Waitress
I don’t think anything I write about “Pre Post-Period Blues” by Bad Waitress will be better than what Guitarist Katelyn Molgard said in the press release, so I’m just going to put in exactly what they had to say:
“It’s like this: you got yer friggin hormones, your cramps, you forgot to eat, but you need to take Advil, then yer like, "bitch, now my stomach hurts!" and then you get so mad yer like "WHYYYYY?!?"So you slam back a few and then you’re way more drunk than you’d normally be so like, you say some shit to someone and then now yer yelling and THEN some dude’s like “are you on your period?” And so then you turn into a werewolf and eat everyone. Ya know?”
