Ben Folds Five - Narcolepsy

The only thing more powerful than the chemistry in this band was Ben’s ego.

Rather than be pissed off about it, I choose to be glad they gave us three near-perfect albums before imploding.

5:25 for May 25th

My favorite Ben Folds Five song.

Queens of the Stone Age - Regular John

This morning’s alarm song*. A great way to wake up.

Junip - Tide

This album. All week. No signs of stopping.

Junip - Without You

This song feels like one long exhale.

Soundgarden - Outshined

5:11 for May 11th

The Cars - “It’s All I Can Do”

This is just a simple song; a wonderfully simple, great song.

Midlake - Head Home

Well now, this song is certainly very good.

steelopus:

Steve Reich - Proverb

How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life.

Failure - Stuck On You 

4:29 for April 29th 

This is a perfect song - filled with great allegory.

I thought I’d drop you easily
But that was not to be
You burrowed like a summer tick
So you invade my sleep and confuse my dreams
Turn my nights to sleepless itch

Thin Lizzy - The Boys are Back in Town

4:27 for April 27th

Won’t be long ‘til summer comes.

Ben Folds Five - Selfless, Cold and Composed

Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye

But it’s not quite right

Hum - Stars (steelopus acoustic cover)

I made this a few years ago. People seem to like it. Today seems like as good a day as any to repost it.

weezer - Say it ain’t so

4:19 for April 19th

Undone and Buddy Holly were weezer’s first two hits, but this was their first single to announce to the world that Rivers was much more than just a quirky geek who was good with metaphors.

Mazzy Star - Fade Into You

A friend recently told me to stop listening to so much sad music.

He’s not the boss of me.
