Nuggets 365 – Rejecting Affection

David Berman and partner

Songs about rejection, both from the perspective of the person rejected and the ‘rejector’. Uplifting in a doomscrolling way.

David Berman‘s swansong performing as Purple Mountains is just epic. Read the whole sad story here.

Nuggets 324 – Covers X – Morning

Covers, lots of covers. On discovering a new artist my first instinct is to seek out the songs that they have covered by other artists.

There is a strong Daniel Johnston vibe to this mix.
