Song of the Day: Surprise, Honeycomb
New Jersey must be fertile ground for song writing material. And the Wrens may just be the best band I've started listening to in the last three years. At some point, the album "Secacus" was pretty difficult to find. So … Continue reading
Song of the Day: Undone (The Sweater Song)
Rivers is puling the thread, and he ain't afraid to walk away. Weezer broke up. Again. Whatever. I'm not the biggest Weezer fan. But they write some catchy tunes. And I love a man in black-rimmed glasses. Weezer – Undone … Continue reading
Song of the Day: Buzzards and Dreadful Crows
Rock fantasy, #257. Guided By Voices reunites. But instead of hiring Nate back, Father (Bob) Pollard decides, what the hell, let's hire someone (me) who's only compenent on E minor to rock out with us at the 9:30 Club. I … Continue reading
Song of the Day: Precision Auto
Superchunk – Precision Auto Do not pass me, just to slow down. Best road rage song ever written. Thank you, 8th grade boyfriend, for introducing me to Superchunk. This band felt very badass back in the day. You can buy … Continue reading
Song of the Day: Portions for Foxes
I love a good slut anthem. And I've never met a red head I didn't like. Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis singing about tarty tendencies is no exception. As an aside, someone I know used to think the lyrics to this … Continue reading

Good song for the first day on a new job. A day that reaches 100 degrees. Or when the cat shits on the floor and pukes (twice) like he did today. I've always thought the Smiths were one of the … Continue reading
Song of the Day: Lloyd, I’m Ready to Be Heartbroken
A nice pop song for anyone who is ready to be heartbroken. "Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken," from Camera Obscura is apparently an answer song to Lloyd Cole's "Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken." (Much like Exile in Guyville … Continue reading
Song of the Day: Life During Wartime
Fear of Music Talking Heads Murder rate is back up in DC to levels that remind us of the cracked-out Marion Barry days. Police have declared an emergency (whether this is because the crimes are happening in the more affluent … Continue reading

Song of the Day: Gold Soundz
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain It was 1994. Summer. You wandered the DC suburbs (or wherever you lived) aimlessly. You were angst-filled and shiftless. You worked a summer job doing “something close to nothing, but different than the day before,” as … Continue reading
Song of the Day: Polyester Bride
Liz Phair – Polyester Bride For the June Bride! In July. I've always liked Phair's earlier song writing. I once heard her interviewed where she said the more specific a song is in its lyrics, the more universal it would … Continue reading
