I leave this afternoon for my great-uncle-in-law's place a few miles outside a Todd County hamlet. I'm not going in to the office, but calling in for a meeting, busy time of year and all.
I wonder what songs will by my earworms out on the stand. My first year hunting was the year of the Halloween Blizzard, and I can still remember staring across a snow-covered field with "Lola" in my head. Just parts of it, really, as I wasn't particularly familiar with the tune, and I had heard it on my father's oldies radio station on the pickup ride out to the country. So really, I was just spelling "Cherry Cola" and "Lola" for hours.
In a more recent year, I've had the English-Language works of Säkert! (that is, the Hello Saferide discography) on mental loop. (Aside: new Hello Saferide!?!?! I thought she had retired that.) Oh crap, I just listened to "Anna" again. I'm wrecked right now and I may be singing that to myself all weekend.
Update: Hello Saferide is still great. Feel free to follow those youtube links and join me down this rabbit hole.

*** When DBT played at First Ave back in the spring, Patterson Hood dedicated this song to Michelle Bachmann. Without getting forbidden zone-y by discussing the substance of this track, I will say that I generally don't like songs that are overtly political, but this one is very well done.

The recent Foxygen double album ...And Star Power starts out strong and then proceeds to meander through the second half. The highs are career highlights. The lows are virtually unlistenable. "Hang", the last song on the record is one of those beauties.

Did you ever get to the first one? Way better than their 2nd, I think. Gonna have to pick up this though.
I did and it's awfully good, though I don't think it's way better than the second one.
The best songs on the new one are ballads or mid-tempo numbers that split the difference between mid-70's Stones and the weirder elements of Todd Rundgren. And worth picking up, though I think my iPod folder for the listing will be trimmed to about 15 songs (down from 24.)
Is that Sharon Van Etton song a Joy Division cover? A Dessa cover?
It's an SVE original.

I can't decide if this fits better with books or music, but however you want to categorize it, it's thirteen and a half pounds of Bob Dylan.
Dylan songs & albums outnumber any artist in my collection ... but I still couldn't see dropping $200 on this. It would be fun to read though.
