Old Crow Medicine Show — “Big Time in the Jungle”
there’s something really home-hitting and humane about this song to me. i haven’t been touched by war, any war, in any real way, but this song sort of makes me feel something that I wish I couldn’t put into words.
And learn to hate your brother
Before you hate your foe
6od:
I’ve been meaning to post this song (even though you all know it and I’ve posted it before, I’m sure).
I listened to it for an entire car ride (like 19 miles, really not that long, but that’s gotta be at least like, 6x in a row) home last week or the week before.
I have 0 concept of time. I just know calendar dates. I think it was like the 24th or something.
i despise all the nyc hype about beyonce and jay-z (don’t get me STARTED on the Atlantic Yards debacle!), but if you take out all of that hoopla and leave behind the music, B is really hot, and I don’t think she can do any wrong. this is such a hot jam, but let’s also be real here, Kelly Rowland needs some more spotlight, because that girl can sing, too.
The Mountain Goats, “Going to Georgia”
The thing is about this song, the thing is about this song, uh, when, I mean I’m still a young man, I’m permanently a young man no matter how I start to look I’m still 20, right, so uhm, but when you are a young writer, boys get this idea that to really, to really show a woman the depth and purity of your love, what you have to do is something drastic and stupid, right, and uh and young writers think it’d be really intense to have a guy always harm himself real bad, and then you know I tell these stories, and so I was a young writer once and so here’s a song about a guy who travels someplace with a gun.
Easily top 5.
Boy I just loved this album cover.
Bon Iver, “Holocene,” live on “Saturday Night Live,” February 4, 2012.

Counting Crows — “Recovering The Satellites”
There’s something interesting about the lines, “gotta get back to basics, guess I’ll start it up again” when you’re laying on a couch next to the one you love, and you’re thinking; “Gee, I guess this is what starting a life is all about, n’ shit.”
So this is Friday, you know?
Saves The Day — “Freakish” (Bug juice acoustic version)

You know I’ve always been a dreamer (spent my life running ‘round). And it’s so hard to change (Can’t seem to settle down). But the dreams I’ve seen lately keep on turning out and burning out and turning out the same. So put me on a highway and show me a sign, and take it to the limit one more time.
Sometimes the best things happen.
Something Corporate — “Konstantine” live
“If the ‘I miss you’ doesn’t make you cry, you have no soul.” — Meredith Turits
Craig Finn — “Clear Heart Full Eyes”
So I don’t know if I like anything about this or not. Just get Franz Nicolay back in the band already….
Oh man, Beyonce tweets…
Hootie & The Blowfish — “I Only Wanna Be With You”
I used to have this friend named Barrett. We had bands, and played a few shows together. I met him on the day his grandmother died. He had (probably has) the sweetest soul I ever encountered. He wrote this song, and it may be my favorite song of all time.
Life is toil. Death, a gift. I desire my home.
Hope against hope until the end of faith.
The day I finally see your shining face.
