Say it with music - You and the Whose Armies
© Florin Stanzer
The dear boys of You and the Whose Armies released their first album two weeks ago, last week they rocked the B72 with it and they still found time to create a playlist for Say it with music. So, a lot to celebrate. You can listen to the album here, for more insides into the band head here and for a glimpse into the personal musical taste of the four just keep on reading:
1. The van is packed up, the tour starts!
Riz Ortolani - I Giorni Dell'Ira
This brings the best “Through Tuscany/Praie driving feeling”
2. When you’re lovesick
Scout Niblett – Kiss
So beautifully imperfect. You really have to get involved in it a little bit, it’s hard to just hear in the background. „A kiss could have killed me if it were not for the rain”(!)
3. The venue reports “Sold out!”
Lützenkirchen – 3 Tage wach
This song always works, even if it is not so well known.
4. The song that should be played at your funeral
Peter Licht – Kopf zwischen Sterne
Does this mean we’re all going to die together? Then “Kopf zwischen Sterne”. Peter Licht’s songs are so pure, hardly anyone can reach him in German-speaking countries.
5. Your favorite track from the first record you bought yourself
Green Day – Jesus of Suburbia
From “American Idiot”, an intense song and apparently punk’s “Bohemian Rhapsody. ”
6. Against stage fright right before the concert
Enya – Only Time
7. One song from the first, real concert you attended as a fan
Arctic Monkeys – When the Sun goes down
2007 at Frequency, back then in Salzburg and still with good acts.
8. Against creative writer's block
Harry Nilsson – Coconut
Like some kind of mantra. You can’t really find yourself. And that’s good.
9. Your guilty pleasure
Johannes Brahms – Ungarischer Tanz Nr. 5
10. When you’re really angry
Anastacia – Left Outside Alone
11. One song that you can sing by heart from start to finish
Gigi D’Agostino – Bla Bla Bla
Not easy, but it works.
12. An insider tip
Breakfast of Champions – das Schönste
The song is pretty secret and it’s only available on Soundcloud, but it’s worth it.
13. One of your songs for an encore
You and the Whose Armies – Kira’s New Sweater
