Red Mosquito

I struggled with this, I'm definitely more of an 'albums guy' than a 'song guy'. It's really difficult to think of individual songs that I keep being drawn back to, much easier to think of albums that have that effect.

I narrowed it down to ten, no particular order:

1. Earth - 'Old Black'
2. Om - 'State of Non-Return'
3. Radiohead - 'Bloom'
4. My Bloody Valentine - 'New You'
5. Thurston Moore - 'Speak to the Wild'
6. Bohren & der Club of Gore - 'Ganz Leise Kommt Die Nacht'
7. Sun Kil Moon - 'Richard Ramirez Died Today of Natural Causes'
8. The Flaming Lips - 'You Lust'
9. Chelsea Wolfe - 'Movie Screen'
10. Neil Young and Crazy Horse - 'Oh Susannah'

Normally no, but her song Blank Spaces for a period of time would appear everywhere I went, everything I did. Slowly I found myself humming to it all the time. Pretty sure I have Stockholm syndrome from it.

We are not looking for the best songs we are looking for the right ones.
