Weekend Music -- Back Pages

 

Going through my back pages (yes) of years of Weekend Music/ Song offerings made me think about the pleasure of reliving past joys, musical ones in this instance.  So, rather than another first- time offering, here are some from years past -- some well known, others not -- that we liked then and now.

We're going to group this collection around music performed by female artists, with the date and the link to when it originally appeared in Hackwhackers.  We might do the same next Friday with either random choices or another thematic grouping.  Hope you enjoy.

Julia Jacklin (2019)

Mid-Week Song

Indie rock singer / songwriter Sharon Van Etten has created an acclaimed album with her backing band The Attachment Theory, unsurprisingly titled "Sharon Van Etten and The Attachment Theory," which was released last week. Her powerful contralto voice drives this potent song about our television habit, "Idiot Box." Enjoy.

Mid-Week Song

 

Singer, songwriter and actor Sharon Van Etten has a new single out, "Afterlife," backed by The Attachment Theory band.  Her lilting contralto voice and the single's backing instrumentation is vaguely reminiscent of Deborah Harry / Blondie.  Enjoy.

Weekend Music Twofer

 

Singer/songwriter/actress Sharon Van Etten has a new single out, "Porta," as well as a cover of a Yoko Ono song, "Toyboat," in honor of Ono's 89th (!!) birthday today (Van Etten also has a birthday coming up in about a week).  Hope you enjoy.

Mid-Week Seventeen Song


We last featured singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten four years ago. Her fifth studio album, "Remind Me Tomorrow," has a track that's been climbing up the alt adult charts since its release in January: "Seventeen." Enjoy.

Weekend Song - No Letdown Here


This is a recent release by Brooklyn (via New Jersey) singer/ songwriter Sharon Van Etten. It's languid, it's dreamy, and it reminds us of someone we can't quite put our finger on*.  It's called "I Don't Want To Let You Down."  Enjoy it and your weekend.



*Got it: k.d. lang on "Constant Craving."
