Really stuck on The Roches and their insane harmonies. They're killing me.

Quote
One season I was born
fell down like an acorn
I am the only tree
and everybody leaves

I've got to get away from you

Bud growing up at me
resentful face I see
a harsh light seems to damn you
is it because I am you?

Speaking of insane harmonies, this song makes me shiver. That part at the end where the sonorous low voice comes in does me in everytime.

I've had both of these on my computer since at least college, but had never listened. Nick Drake is a BOSS.

And Stereolab is getting me through exam study times. Sooooo good.

Stereolab are really blowing me away. Combining so many things I like to create just perfect songs.

And if that totally bums you out, here's some upbeat Japanese weirdness to make up for it.

I'm surprised there's not a Japanese subculture that fetishizes Christmas in a bizarre and extreme manner.

I have all of those as well as Good News for People Who Love Bad News, which like you was gifted all at once (except for Lonesome Crowded West, I bought that one). If my iTunes plays data is a true indicator it's my favorite album of all time (at least since 2009). The rest of those albums I can't seem to get into. There's some small shift in tone I think. Don't know. You may love those albums and hate Good News. It's a big ol' world. I'm gonna have some nachos.

I have never really listened to Modest c*ck, but a lot of friends love them.

Paul, that song is great, but I think picking a song fronted by that guy is kind of a punky "fuck you" to being on Letterman. His songs are always a little more annoying, IMHO. Why not this song? or the obvious best song on the album. The bass line is catchy, too bad you can't hear it in this video.
So good, down to the off-white and light blue fender guitars.

Inherent Vice, which I enjoyed a lot, starts out with this song I love. I love those damn drums!

Visiting St Louis, it seems that all of my friends have gotten way better at music, but their band has fallen apart. What a shame.

My last post was not clearly stated. Good News is the album that I have listened to as many as 60+ times.

I'm no expert on Parquet Courts. I mainly posted that because it came up on Letterman and I didn't know if you had seen it. that KEXP performance is pretty damn good. Thanks for posting. I actually get updates from KEXP, but that came out before I signed up.

It's my birthday and I'm feeling like this song is about right for me today. When it came out I felt like I was on one side of the equation and now I'm on the other side of that same equation.

Parquet courts are such my favorite band that it isn't even funny.  That song is pretty good, but, yeah, Andrew savage is clearly what makes that band great.  Having an Austin brown song is exactly the punky fuck you thing to do...don't know if that's good or bad.  Content naseau is one of my favorite albums ever.  Their first album has some great great tracks too, square states and largish/dominant stand outs.  Teenage cool kids (savages band before) Denton after sunset is a great album too.

I love modest c*ck.  I'd start with moon and Antarctica then go to long drive.  Then everything will make sense!

Relatedly...Isaac Brock and Andrew savage are 2 of my favorite 3 lyricist of all time (w r zimmerman)
