It's the shortest and the longest month. It's the point in the year where I'm generally just completely over being cold and it being Winter and it just keeps on snowing and snowing.
Made even worse this year since it's a Leap Year and there's a whole extra day of the scourge that is the second month.
This calls for happy pop music and a few moments of blissful forgetfulness that I may be called on to shovel a foot of wet miserable winter off the driveway at any moment....
Here Comes Everybody (1993)
This is sweet harmonic pop music. Joyous and happy.
Very unlike my mood.
but it helps.
They put out three full lengths and a handful of singles in their existence and are almost entirely unknown.
Probably because they named themselves "Me" which doesn't make it any easier to look them up on the internet.
That and it's the very sort of harmony filled pop that would get entirely lost in the shuffle of everything else that was going on at the time competing for people's attention.
Let it wash over your weary soul.
Easy Peazy Lemon Squeezy (1990)
You have to appreciate a record that when it starts out you wonder if you've got it actually at the right speed. The first song on this ep by Strawberry Story is just that. Very fast, lo-fi and buzzy.
So with nothing else to stop us... One, Two Three, Four Strawberry's Let's Go!
