Harvey Danger has an uncanny ability to write songs that specifically refer to specific things I’m going through when I first hear them. Even this demo track, “You Look So Happy,” rang eerily close to home when I first heard it over the summer.
He & Him, in the same state, in the same, decided to turn the classic Neutral Milk Hotel song, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, into a drinking song. From the less-than-factually titled album “Jeff Mangum was a drunk, but we still love him”
The first track from the new Tartufi album gets better everytime I hear it. Every damn time. It started off as the 40th best song of the year. It’s in the teens now. And I regret nothing.
Also, you can’t go wrong with the title
Tartufi- “Fear of Tall Giraffes, Fear of Some Birds”
Not sure if this has gone up before, but here is The Wrens with Pulled Fences, their one honest-to-god-studio-recorded-new-track-that-was-released of 2009.

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, Weezer just jumped the 1998-American-Adaptation-of-Godzilla-Starring-Matthew-Broderick
The third of my firefly/dr. horrible crossover, “Reavers”, a parody of “Bad Horse”. The audio cuts out sort of on the last word, but I think it works pretty well. Video edited by Dougie GoodSmith
This is an INCREDIBLE music video my brother Dougie did. It’s of the Los Campesinos! song, “You! Me! Dancing!” using 1324 pictures he took. The music pick up is at about the 2 minute mark, but it’s 100% golden
