Heard a cover of Linger in a shop last night. The vocalist did a competent job, but it reminded me what a big job it would be to follow Dolores O'Riordan, not to mention the orchestration and production of the original.

RIP Delores.

Forgot it was BBC6Music's T-Shirt Day until I tuned in but as every day is a band shirt day in this house I'm wearing an Emmy the Great 'Trellick Tower' shirt which must date from around 2011.

Coincidentally the first song I heard this morning was the Cranberries' Dreams which Emma-Lee covers via Faye Wong's Cantonese version.

No selfie as I don't do selfies but that is cool on fedi, right? 😎

As randomly chosen by survey* on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 979 on The List, submitted by stadsplanering.

Geez, what an amazing debut album. I’m not sure if I should be embarrassed to admit that my intro to this band and album was via the soundtrack for the 1998 film You’ve Got Mail, which opens with “Dreams”, or that it took me about a decade or so to realize it was the same band as the amazing “Zombie”.

Anyway, if you haven’t had the pleasure of listening to this one yet, you’re in for a treat. And whether it’s your first or thousandth listen, perhaps follow it up with The Cranberries’ Tiny Desk concert from 2012, which includes “Linger”. Dolores O’Riordan was such a gem.

*The survey choices that led to this spotlight were “Love”, “Insanity laughs under pressure we’re breaking”, “Can’t we give ourselves one more chance?”, and “Why can’t we give love that one more chance?”, following the earlier surveys that had “It’s the terror of knowing what this world’s about”/”Watching some good friends screaming, ‘Let me out’”/”Pray tomorrow gets me higher”/”Pressure on people, people on streets” and “Turned away from it all like a blind man”/”Sat on the fence but it don’t work”/”Keep comin up with love but it’s so slashed & torn”/”Why, why, why?”. The last phrase was the winning selection, so the survey result was translated as picking the first album in The List with one of the phrase’s words in the title, the matching word here being, obviously, “why”.
