The Song

Talk TalkSuch A Shame

There’s something about a song that comes in pieces like this, a song that doesn’t quite gel (until it does). It’s at once too camp and not camp enough, teetering on the edge of some larger sophistication but not quite sure why. And then the hooks, and it doesn’t matter.

Wouldn’t have touched this with a ten-foot pole a decade ago, but here we are. Thank you, London.

Orange JuiceRip It Up

“Rip It Up” still feels as casually, toe-tappingly anthemic as it must have done in 1983. Open a window. Rip it up, and start again.

And I hope to God I’m not as numb as you make out
