Today's gonna be a double dose of singles, which isn't really singles at all. I don't care though, because both songs are great.
(Star) is a song by the Osaka, Japan group called simply Boredoms, and the song comes from the band's 1999 album Vision Creation Newsun. The group is really hard to nail as to a style. Sometimes they are referred to as a noise band, sometimes as an ambient group, etc etc. What they are referred to hasn't much to do with how awesome and truly mindbending this song is.

The next song was my first choice for a song to post, and is in my mind, without a doubt, one of the greatest songs ever written. It still sounds as fresh and means as much as it did in 1971; a song that surely stands the test of time. I won't go into the lyrics and their meanings, or the struggle they represent, but you feel and believe everything Gaye says. "Lets Get it On" made Gaye a household name, but by that time he had already written plenty of songs to immortalize his genius. Inner City Blues is one of those.
