"I am a Scientist," by Guided by Voices


My favorite song of the day. Looks like someone's been drinking.

"My Sister's Tiny Hands," by The Handsome Family. It's the song of the day


A haunting song in the vein of old Appalachia dark murder ballad folk wailing. I feel like I'm down in the dark deep valley, drenched in dew, trudging through the tall grass. Dodging snakes.

"Mahgeetah" by My Morning Jacket



No matter where I am, when I hear those opening invitations by beckoning Jim James, I am transported back to Fall 2003. A new transplant transplanted into Los Angeles. Still trying to force my roost to take hold. The album It Still Moves will always be the first amazing record released I bought as an infant Angeleno.

"Isabel" by Unrest. It's the Song of the Day


I am such a sucker for that drum beat. That ubiquitous early 90s Madchester-ish drumbeat. The album version, without the drums, is beautiful too. But like I said--give me that beat as a bed and I'll jump in.
