Slayer Sountrack Sunday ~ "The Sun Keeps Shining" By Fonda

Fonda appeared in the Buffy episode "All the Way" from Season 6. The title is an obvious reference to teen sexual activity, and Dawn thinks she is ready for that . . . until her date turns out to be a vampire! And Dawn gets her first kiss on Halloween, which seems totally appropriate for a rather supernatural girl.

Also in this episode, Tara is getting fed up with Willow's magicks, and Xander announces his engagement to Anya while wearing a pirate costume and eye-patch - foreshadowing his "accident" in Season 7.

Although the action takes place on Halloween night, this is actually a breezy summer song.

Slayer Soundtrack Sunday ~ Aberdeen

The California "Twee" group Aberdeen had two songs in Episode 13 of Season 7 "The Killer in Me."

From their Biography on LTM Recordings

Californian indiepopsters Aberdeen featured John Girgus (also of Languis) and Beth Arzy (also of Trembling Blue Stars), and released five sparky singles on Sarah Records and The Tremelo Arm User's Club between 1994 and 2004. Their album Homesick & Happy To Be Here appeared in 2002.

. . . Twee is really just a label the music press began slapping on bands like Belle and Sebastian in order to describe, in one word, a band who makes jangly, pastoral, pretty (and mostly UK) pop music. Yet, like with most labels, the term twee is a little unfair to the bands. Obviously there is more going on in Belle and Sebastian's music than hippies cavorting around in the Scottish heather. The same goes for the music of Aberdeen. Yes, it's poppy, fun, and innocent but it's also dark, foreboding, and to a degree... violent.
