(Part 2/2, version 2*)

*"Connection reset". Great. I tried to preview this before I posted it and lost ALL that I had written. This is my attempt at re-creating that post word for word. Write your lengthy posts in Notepad, kids. You'll be sorry if you didn't.

Hollie Cook - Postman
From the 2014 album Twice.

Last time I was on Plug, Rostasi played some Hollie Cook and I loved her right away. It was probably a different track than this.

Jane Birkin / Serge Gainsbourg - La Javanaise
From the 2017 album Le Symphonique.

I missed this one last year, but it's Jane Birkin, so I'm interested automatically.

Janelle Monáe – Make Me Feel
From the upcoming album Dirty Computer

Not sure what to think of this new single, but her previous two albums were really good. I'm picking this one up sooner or later.

Kylie Minogue - Dancing
From the upcoming album, Golden.

Kylie's upcoming album was supposedly recorded in Nashville and takes some inspiration from country music. This seems like an all round terrible idea, at least if I'm judging from this first single. I plainly don't like this and find it pretty uninteresting. On top of that, it seems to me that the recording is kind of bungled. Listen closely to Kylie's voice during the chorus. Am I crazy, or does that sound like overcompressed, oddly distorted garbage? What the hell!?

Dir En Grey - Fukai
From the recent compilation, Vestige of scratches.

Dir En Grey - Beautiful Dirt
From the recent compilation, Vestige of scratches.

Both of these tracks are - like the last Dir En Grey track I posted in this journal - newly re-recorded versions of older Dir En Grey songs. I quite like these new versions and feel tempted to buy the album just for that. Or, that is to say, there's possibly a few other items of interest on the 3 disc compilation, but I'll have to look further into it to be sure. They had a single a year back that isn't on any album, so that's hopefully on there. Maybe there'll be some live tracks or b-sides as well. I'm enough of a super-fan to be excited over mere scraps.
