It is not only my birthday but also the day that my new internet radio station, Radio Free Ian, is launched. I get a radio station for my birthday! How cool is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While so many songs could show up on this auspicious occasion, it\u2019s really a no-brainer on the ones that made the list this week.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, for the first 3 Stars Blog in the Radio Free Ian era, I humbly submit this list for your approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Number 3 Song:&nbsp; Katie Keddie &#8211; dead flame<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"dead flame\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JQa7EDDqjXk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is so much to like about this song! I\u2019m a sucker for a hint of shoegaze in a song, Katie has an amazing voice, and I imagine being hit up by an ex and turning them away. It\u2019s the conversation we eventually rehearse, out loud or mentally, just to have it ready if it ever comes up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be honest. Admit it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDead Flame,\u201d (Stylized as &#8220;dead flame&#8221;) allows us to be okay with relationships ending with no chance for a second act because we\u2019re no longer the same people we were when the relationship was on a successful path. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where was this song three years ago? I could have used it then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Number 2 Star: Fontaines D.C. &#8211; Here\u2019s The Thing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fontaines D.C. - Here&#039;s The Thing\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8TOFw04uZTA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fontaines D.C. become the first act to ever appear in The 3 Stars Blog twice. This has a slightly different feel than \u201cdead flame.\u201d This song is more of a plea for reconciliation, keeping the door open. While there is recognition of pain on both sides, it\u2019s abundantly clear that the song&#8217;s narrator bears the brunt of the heartbreak. There\u2019s the plea of \u201cif you change your mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dude, she\u2019s just not that into you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trust me. This is the voice of experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Number 1 Star: Thank &#8211; Writing Out A List of All The Names Of God<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Thank - Writing Out A List Of All The Names Of God (lyric video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TplvPgrHRFA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another excellent punk act from Leeds (home of previous 3 Stars bands IDLES and The Lambrini Girls). And does the band write out a list of all the names of God, as the title teases? It\u2019s pretty thorough. While a forthcoming album has been teased on the band\u2019s Facebook page, no further details have been released.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a very special edition of The 3 Stars Blog.
