Plumb - In My Arms (Kaskade Mix)

Your baby blues
So full of wonder
Your curly cues
Your contagious smile
And as i watch
You start to grow up
All I can do
is hold you tight

Knowing clouds will rage in
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash around
But you will be safe in my arms

Story books are full of fairy tales
Of kings and queens and the bluest skies
My heart is torn just in knowing
You'll someday see the truth from lies

When the clouds will rage in
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash around
But you will be safe in my arms

Castles – they might crumble
Dreams may not come true
But you are never all alone
'Cause I will always,
Always love you

Thanks to my sweetheart for recognizing women and moms on the reg, and for making sure I had a wonderful Mother's Day. I thought I'd do my own MIS on the topic, and remembered this gem that came out the year my third son was born. Touching lyrics and fun to dance to! Plumb (Tiffany Arbuckle Lee, mom of 3) started out a Christian Contemporary artists, but her sometimes edgy (emo) lyrics, and affinity for EDM remixes pushed her across several categories. I first heard her back in '99, when she had an indie cut ("Stranded") on the Drive Me Crazy soundtrack. She also had a great song ("Damaged") on the Brokedown Palace soundtrack that same year.

LCD Soundsystem - call the police

It moves like a virus and enters our skin
The first sign divides us, the second is moving to Berlin
But that's not the state I'm in
The air is thin but that's not the state

Friday mystery surprise! Two new tracks from LCD Soundsystem! Both "call the police" and "american dream" have the Soundsystem sporting an eighties feel that just screams New Order, Cure and OMD at different moments. And, ok, on "call the police" maybe a bit of Simple Minds, Psychedelic Furs or even U2. Whatever, there is an unmistakable eighties vibe and it's great.

It's Friday, so today's Most Important Song is going to "call the police" and its funky dance baseline. Will there be more? I certainly hope so!

RIYL: Hot Chip, Cut Copy, New Order, Yeasayer, Of Montreal

Upcoming Shows

Coucheron - Loud

Our hearts are in search of the light
Our goal is to keep holding tight
The ferries let go by the night
Our minds aren't thinking the same
We look back on all that is lame
Our spotlight is waiting for fame

And the morning seems too far
As we fly across the sky
What it means is that we die
And the evening never ends
As we hold each others hands
We don't need more

'Cause we are loud

Coucheron is 1/5th of the actual given name of this Norwegian electronic music producer. I read that he won a grammy for his work with Kehlani, and that reminded me it has been a while since I've posted something like this. We're well past the hump of this week, tomorrow is Friday, open your windows and turn this up loud.
