The Letter H

A British singer/songwriter named after the protagonist in Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's. She's been cranking out albums since 1995 and got her start with the band Thee Headcoatees.
Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs - Gettin' High For Jesus

I don't know what to say about this song other than it reminds me of getting strange in the summer.
Highlife - F Kenya Rip

I first heard this song on a chill out mix I randomly found on the internet. Gotta love Stumbleupon!
The Helio Sequence - Shed Your Love

I don't know much about this band as this is the only song I know by them. The main member is Chris Otepka and several other musicians. He's from Chicago. I need to check out more of his stuff. I like the nervous and awkward singing and the fast paced jittery musicianship. Reminds me of high school.
Heligoats - Fishsticks

If you have never had a chance to see Headwig And The Angry Inch, it's definitely worth seeing. It's a twisted musical movie, think Rocky Horror Picture show only more fucked up, however the music is phenomenal. This is one to add to the morning playlist for sure.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Wig In A Box

This is a rare track from the best bar band in the world. This was part of the Virgin Digital Sessions.
The Hold Steady - 212 Margarita

The nightime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy, head, fever so you can jam out medicine

So I have been sick for the past week. Thankfully, it wasn't the throwing up sick, or the symptom that happens at the other end (you know what I mean). It was more of a Nyquil tagline sickness. Not fun times. Although I did have to go to the doctor, I called to make an appointment and they were all booked up so I had to go to a walk in clnic that they were partners with and I got to get checked put by a super hot female doctor. As Borat would say "Very nice!" So today I am going to post songs that are in some way related to sickness. Note: It's super hard to find songs related to being sick, so most of these won't be theme specific, but they will be good.
