Today's Song:
Judy and the Dream of Horses
When I was younger, I had some strange aversion to true, honest-to-God pop music. I liked the Beatles, yes, but anything else that could even remotely be labeled as pop turned me off. Friend after friend would argue on behalf of the pop music, yet nothing ever came of it for me until I heard today's artist.
Belle & Sebastian write beautiful, gentle pop music. There is no real pretension involved, nothing more to their music than the joy of good, easy to listen to music that the masses, the populace, likes. Granted, they've never been huge, chart-topping monsters of radio, but they have a huge, rabid following. And it is deserved. Few things are as therapeutic as good, happy, joyous music.
So, from their album, "If You're Feeling Sinister," is today's song: Judy and the Dream of Horses.
