Today is Toothache Day. I don't make these things up, you can google it if you don't believe me.
Here's an early classic from The Charlies...
Of a similar vintage, we find this...
Next, a fairy tale tune written by the wonderful Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields... apparently it's from a movie soundtrack. The cast includes Blair Brown, Mia Maestro, Qian Yi, Mary Lou Rosato and
Fiona Shaw... but the interweb doesn't appear to be able to tell me which of them are singing here.
Here's an atmospheric tune from Austin-based Americana band RF Shannon, led by songwriter Shane Renfro...
Here's the wonderful Ezra Furman, always worth a listen...
And you can never go wrong with mid-90s Green Day either...
Here's the weirdest thing you'll hear today. I picked this up in a charity shop. It wasn't a keeper, but I sold the CD on the bay of E for a tidy profit, so this band clearly has its fans...
(Nothing to do with Marc Riley, as far as I can tell.)
Possibly not about tooth ache, but I will take any excuse to play The Felice Brothers...
Finally, here's a lovely little tune by LA singer-songwriter Sam Valdez...
But here in the UK it's National Pizza Day! I know which I prefer.
