Ghazals for Spring
Image: The things I see
Hours clot. Birds flap like passports. Fields explode with temper tantrums. Here comes trouble.
- Spencer Reece. Ghazals for Spring.
The Left Banke – I’ve got something on my mind
(Walk away Renee / 1967)
Jens Lekman – I saw her in the anti-war demonstration
(Julie Ep / 2004)
Xiao He – Mama
(High-flying Birds Unfall on the Slow Cattle’s Back / 2002)
The Submarines – You, me and the Bourgeoisie
(Honeysuckle weeks / 2008)
The Bird & the Bee – I’m a broken heart
(The Bird and the bee / 2007)
Yet another lazy Sunday pitched somewhere between complete cynicism and total naïvete.
When I saw the title of this post I was hoping for actual ghazals. Oh well, still good stuff.
it’s incredible: i just love your sundays :)
thanks for that. the listings are always good for my mondays.
so good. where can i get the extended version??
I went to school with Spencer Reece….
So fun to hear “I’ve got something on my Mind” after listening to Jens Lekman’s “Black Cab” for years!
