The Concept Teenage Fanclub

“The Concept” // Teenage Fanclub

I love that this song was repeatedly played and referenced in Young Adult. It was possibly my favorite thing about the movie. Outside of a cameo made by a Nite Owl action figure (very smooth, Patrick Wilson), and all of Patton’s witticisms and quips. I hated the characters, but I would like to see all of those actors in similar roles more often. I didn’t hate it.

Holland, 1945 Neutral Milk Hotel

“Holland, 1945” // Neutral Milk Hotel

I’ve been having my dad read the Merge Records book, and I finally got him to sit down and listen to some of the music today. His favorite was Neutral Milk Hotel, and he was really digging on this song, in particular. He said Superchunk was “too loud,” but he great appreciated the music video for “Watery Hands.”

This is Christmas present enough.

I'm Not Moving Phil Collins

“I’m Not Moving” // Phil Collins

There should be a montage made of footage of my activities for the next four weeks. It would feature me: sleeping, watching Netflix in my bed, napping with my dog, napping by myself, sleeping while Netflix is playing, snoozing, yawning, etc.

This would be the soundtrack to such a montage. I’m clearly hilarious.

Welcome to the Working Week Elvis Costello

“Welcome to the Working Week” // Elvis Costello

Guys, as far as finals weeks go, this one is pretty hectic and disorienting. The next three days are going to be rough, and I’m positive I’m not the only one. (So, here’s to you, Elvis. Please see us through.) I’ve been mostly listening to James Blake this week, but I think My Aim Is True is going to be on repeat today. Need something upbeat to imagine movie montages to the massively sad amounts of research I’m going to have to do about non-profit business models.

I’m going to be in the library for probably twelve hours straight today/tonight. You should all ask me questions on my “other blog,” or whatever. I’m sure it’ll keep me entertained and distracted from the shit storm I’m grinding through.

To Love Somebody The Careful Ones

“To Love Somebody (Bee Gees cover)” // The Careful Ones

I love this; I cannot get over how much I adore this. This is the best Christmas present I have gotten so far, and I thank the Careful Ones eternally for it. Get the track for free for yourself at their bandcamp. Listen and enjoy.

Tony The Tiger Manchester Orchestra

“Tony the Tiger” // Manchester Orchestra

All right, so if Andy does end up just playing cuts from Manchester albums, he should surely play “Tony the Tiger.” Of course, “I Can Feel a Hot One,” yadda yadda. But I’m looking for some deep cuts tonight. Beards willing.

Talk Talk Talk Mansions

“Talk Talk Talk (Daytrotter session)”” // Mansions

The first time I heard Mansions was when I saw him perform a solo, acoustic set while touring with Now Now. “Talk Talk Talk” really grabbed me, and I loved how it sounded just him and the guitar (not sure what this says about me). At any rate, when I got to the recordings later that night, they really left something to be desired. I really enjoyed them, but just not quite as much as I loved the unplugged set. So, as you can guess, the Daytrotter session had me in pieces. Really loved it, and you should listen to the whole thing. Enjoy!

Chopped N Skrewed (feat. Ludacris) T-Pain

“Chopped ā€˜N’ Skrewed” // T-Pain (feat. Ludacris)

I’m officially giving Thr33 Ringz the revisit it so grossly deserves. With hits like “Freeze” and “Can’t Believe It,” this album basically single-handedly soundtracked school dances in the late 2000s. Next, I’m going to be looking through the entire T-Pain discography. Nothing quite beats “Bartender” on a Friday night. Enjoy.

Track 07

“Mary (alternate)” // Yellow Ostrich

Gaaaaaaaaahhhhh, this version of this song is the greatest thing ever. Someone put this on a mix for me around my birthday, and I would just put it on repeat when I walked to class or where ever. The reissue of The Mistress has got my panties all in a wad once again. Every few weeks since I saw them at Northside Fest, there are certain tracks that I get the tick to revisit. Especially this one. Anyways, enjoy.
