roscoe- midlake from trials of van occupanther.
swear to god, i listened to this song 3 times a day the entire month of january. what's this guy going on about? stonecutters? villages filled with chemicals? aunt rosaline? hmm. fine by me. this link courtesy of a new up-and-coming website for the kids: myspace dot com.
and speaking of the mac....
rhiannon from fleetwood mac (the album, not the band. but also the band. the eponymous album. but not r.e.m.'s album "eponymous".)
i have a bet with myself that whenever i'm in a car for more than an hour, there is a 93% certainty that i will hear fleetwood mac's "dreams" on the radio.*** great song, but i would give a toe to change that song to rhiannon. rhiaaaaaaaaaaaaanon.
shuffle o' the day:
i wanna stay home- jellyfish from the album bellybutton.
sometimes, when you grow up in texas without an older brother to turn you onto good music, you listen to shit music in your youth. then, you spend the rest of your adulthood trying to discover what is Classic and Awesome. for me, queen is one of those C and A bands, but it took listening to jellyfish for me to discover them. i prefer the split milk album to this one, but bellybutton wins the jolly good album cover award: mmm, naked lady detailed with toothpaste. and still big in japan!
