Music meme, Day 23
Today's prompt is "A song you think everybody should listen to". That's a bit pretentious; I'm not sure I think there even is such a thing. Different people like different styles of music and different types of voices; I have fairly demographically predictable tastes and so my list of songs here mostly contains artists who look like I do (or like I do but female). But if we interpret it more broadly as "A song from an artist you think should have a higher profile" then this is clearly an excuse to post more Jess Morgan, and what I'm going for here is this one, primarily for how much fun she's clearly having while playing it:
She clearly loves this song; I saw her play it at Relevant Records a few months back and she was just as obviously having a whale of a time then too. In retrospect, I should probably have asked her about it afterwards but didn't, maybe I'll remember next time I see her. My guess is that it's her repressed rock chick instincts coming out, this being about as rock as she gets.
