Ezra Furman & The Harpoons - Take Off Your Sunglasses.

CAN’T. STOP. LISTENING. It’s like the Violent Femmes before I got so sick of them I wanted to die!

Well she called me up, she said I love you in the middle of the night
I said in the middle of the night everybody loves everybody else these days
She said oh, in the middle of the day I love you very much
I said everybody loves each other these days…

Steve Earle - Galway Girl.

And I asked a friend “What’s a feller to do?” cuz her hair was black and her eyes were blue!

Fionn Regan - Put a Penny in the Slot.

Okay, okay, I’m sorry about the obnoxious music streak I’ve been on lately. Here’s a nice one. Promise!

The Avett Brothers - I and Love and You.

My love/hate relationship with New York City means I listen to this a lot while I’m walking around sneering at locals. Also wishing I was somewhere with cool people singing cool songs about love. Whatever.

Oh my gosh! Daniel Johnston has a new album out, and it’s all professionally produced unlike his previous lo-fi stuff, so it’s actually pleasant to listen to!

He’s one of my biggest heroes EVER (if you haven’t seen The Devil and Daniel Johnston, go watch it, right now, seriously, do it), but rather than put up his new shit - which is going to be all over the internet anyway - here’s my favorite one of his old songs.

Some of you might remember it from the My So-Called Life soundtrack. Kapow!

Daniel Johnston - Come See Me Tonight.

Hello Saferide - Anna.

With our collected brain resources she would have an IQ of 155!

(I like breakup songs.)

Jarvis Cocker - Leftovers.

You had me at making no bones about the museum of paleontology.

Olivia Ruiz - Elle Panique (She Panics).

The thing about not speaking french fluently is I always think “oh, I can just translate the lyrics,” but then I get phrases like this:

You me insane steps funk.

Anyway, the words that make sense are about a lady with horrible anxieties being crazy and worrying that no one likes her. Not that any of us knows anything about that.

The Mountain Goats - This Year.

The good song trifecta: catchy tune, big words, clever stabs at my heart. Yesssss.
