Aimee Mann is who she is; a hidden gem that the rest of the music listening world haven’t happened upon, thankfully. If you don’t know Aimee Mann’s music then you are Lost In Space.
Gold:
“Humpty Dumpty” – A divine song that seems to have fallen from a place further than our stratosphere.
“Pavlov’s Bell” – How she worked Pavlov into a song is beyond me. But between the riff that strikes right through the chorus and the spirit that marches along it just gets you giddy.
“High On Sunday 51” – Is she for real? This is what music should sound like.
“It’s Not” – “So here I am sitting in my car at the same old stop light/ I keep waiting for a change but I don’t know what”. Brilliant.
“Guys Like Me” – Mann is the queen of biting tracks that still sound as potent and truthful as if she left the bite behind.
“Today’s The Day” – Bright and brilliant.
Silver:
“Lost In Space” – “I’m pretending to care/ like I’m not even there”. Ouch.
Bronze:
Aimee Mann always comes in on top.
Aimee Mann stands tall above most music that arrives on my desk. She has a prowess with a pen and voice that takes hold of you. Lost In Space is another in the line of Aimee Mann masterpieces.
