The final selection, the very end of the night bleeding into tomorrow. We're fading fast and it's nearly dawn.
Party people, night owls, yearnification and recriminations.
If we get through this alive, I'll meet you next week, same place, same time.

Final two selections! I've loved finding songs with a vibe of loneliness, yearning, broadcasting, airwaves, connection. So lush, dreamy, evocative. My favorite new song of the entire year.
I'll be broadcasting all night
Hope my signal is loud and clear

Selection number 18. Another one for staring at the ceiling and wondering why you're not with the person you want to be with. This version is sublime, especially because it's not with that other guy, and Johnny Marr's guitar does the crying for you.

Not sure what it says about me that I can come up with so many songs I adore about late night party despair, but here is the most gorgeous example.
And an incredible cinematic needle drop moment in All of Us Strangers.
Jadu Heart at Brighton Music Hall. Saw them opening for Fontaines DC this spring, happy to see them headlining in Boston.

Selection number 16. The obvious 3am choice. Just put the phone down and don't call, babe. It's got a great beat and you can dance to it.

As gorgeous and bleak and spare as Billie Eilish's original, but with Lewis Capaldi's breath-catching plaintive voice. This one is a masterclass in yearnification, listen to it and cry your eyes out.

Just the best!

Late night makeout music yearning sexy dreamy sublime
Over and over they'll see
How your lips and my mouth should be
Dancing 'til we both fall backwards
Time and time again

Selection number 13, my own personal club kid anthem. When you don't know the party is just beginning or winding down.
I am, of course, the most blonde you've ever met.

WOW!!!

This is the one for the morning after the night before. Has there ever been such a voice?

Of course if you could decide last minute to buy a ticket for Philadelphia and hop on a Greyhound on two hours sleep, you would. Of COURSE you would.

It's not all midnight romance and yearnification, sometimes it's staring at the ceiling and trying to figure out how you possibly fucked yourself over so hard. This is the one to remind you that you fucked it indeed, baby.

This album came out when I was only 12 but I was crazy about it, a little pre-teen romantic already. A beautiful one to revisit, late night hope, yearnification, and Chris Cornell's once-in-a-generation voice.

#last4albums from my post-pub Friday night, a little moody & shoegazy after one too many IPAs.
Bedroom, DIIV, Dreams We've Had, and I'm really into the new Dream, Ivory.
Pivoted from the Boston cancellation to Toronto and now this. It's so unfair. How could Kneecap be fine to play at Wembley, but not Toronto or Boston?

Selection number 9. I'm a city gal & will walk miles, and this is the ultimate song for late night urban rambling. Alone in Montreal early this year, walking back from clubs in the snow, this was THE tune. Dreamy dancy momentum.

This one is for the nights when you can't let things go. Summer, regret, yearning.

What a man! What a band! Arena energy in little Roadrunner, Boston came out on fire in support of Sam Fender! Amazing night.

In honor of seeing the man himself tonight, the best song ever written about doing coke all night with your lame high school friends. "Oh, I've got so much pain here, so much love
But it's drowning every inch of my soul"

Selection number six, this one slays me. Kelly Jones has a voice that is always my undoing, but the naked, craggy, desperate midnight longing here is ruinous, unraveling. Yes, please.

That existential feeling that you are alone in the universe at night, that we are all, together, alone in the universe.

Selection number four, and you could fill a whole dreamy, longing playlist with nothing but Cigarettes After Sex, though I do think this one is their best.

Pulp at Suffolk Downs, front row, very emotional, in the pouring rain, I cried during This is Hardcore just feeling so so so lucky to be here. In a year filled with tons of amazing shows, this one can't be beat.

My favorite by the Cars, brooding, longing, wondering whose car you'll be getting into when the bars all close.

Selection number two, an old old old favorite. Late at night, regrets seeping in, lost loves, and nothing to keep you company except the radio.
