Moozik week day 6&7

I spaced day 6! Totally! So sorry.

You may not mind when I post the song, anyway -- I have had a hard time getting a lot of my friends to give rap of any kind a chance. I was that way too, though, in the beginning. There were a lot of things I disliked about it at first -- and still do, in terms of the insane level of misogyny and treatment of women -- but after a few years, I really began to open up to it and now hip-hop and hiptronica are among my most-listened-to internet radio stations. One of the songs that helped tip me over the edge from "eh, I don't love it" to a fan was this song, Here We Come, from the movie Strange Days. I love how it builds and builds with this crashing anger and resentment and warning, and culminates in that great bitter, wicked laugh at the end.

In a complete 180, day 7 finishes up with one of my favorite artists, Neil Finn, doing Faster Than Light from his solo album of a few years ago. This song would be among my desert island songs. i think it's one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded and that's saying a lot. The Finn brothers are geniuses, baby.
