Generic list post: June 2025

Kylie Minogue - Confide In Me
(From Confide In Me album; 1994)



Obligatory wrap-up post of those songs I've played most during the month when I discovered that Kylie Minogue went all Portishead in 1994 with this moody choon. In fact, I like this song so much it makes me forgive Ms. Minogue for half-arsing the Neighbours finale in 2022. Australia is hotter than Tha Block™, but the Sheilas hearts are colder than Antarctica.

I love "Before sunrise." Was disappointed by "Before sunset" but then fully back on board for "Before Midnight." Overall, a dope trilogy.

This week I shall mostly be listening to new albums from:
Public Enemy
Chuck D/Enemy Radio
Yugen Blakrok
Buck 65
And maybe dig out my old Billy Woods CDs to remind me why I haven't listened to him for years.

That "Local Lingo" blog series inspired me to check out Rondo & Crazy Rak's "The Abused."

Even by nine fo' standards, those beats suck.

Kylie's best single, imo.

Gotta checkout Big Sleep's comps. From the sounds of it, it's a goldmine of choons.

I finally got to see Before Sunset on the big screen after initially passing on it 30 years ago.

Kelvin Mack10zie said...

Can't believe I'd never heard it before.

Good to see Homeboy Sandman is still capable of making a good song lol

Kelvin Mack10zie said...

Absolutely no idea. That's the first song of his ive heard that I really like.

Dino said...

The Blackalicious albums? GoG's solo jawn "4th Dimension Rocketships Going Up"?

The Big Sleep said...

I'm just tryin' to make it to the Late Pass! section of the year end list.

Kelvin Mack10zie said...

There will definitely be a buncha songs from these comps in that list.

Kelvin Mack10zie said...

I think I'm finally ready to check out both the Blackalicious albums.

Ben said...

Are any of Kylie’s albums good? This is a pretty nice song.
