Motley Tunes is a weekly segment featuring an assortment of 2-4 songs I find worth sharing.
1. The Dark Of The Matinee by Franz Ferdinand
Stumbled upon Franz Ferdinand last week. They're solid. This song's my favourite thus far. Solid intro riff, catchy hook, sexy lyrics (like really sexy) and most laudable of all - they actually use the word 'Matinée' in a song (and repeat it four times in the chorus) and execute all of it with aplomb.
"You take your white finger,
slide your nail under
the top and bottom buttons of
my blazer,
Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties,
And I'm not to look at you in the shoe,
but the eyes, find the eyes" (how sexy is that huh?)
2. I Will Dare by The Replacements
This one's from the 80s, a charming love-song but more importantly one of the early famous jangle-pop songs that formed the cornerstone of the 80s-90s alt rock movement.
"Meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now I don't care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I will dare"
