Cape Canaveral – Conor Oberst – A song so lovely, it seems to live in its world: it is like a remembrance of someone past but so open ended it can belong to you.
You Better Use Those Fingers For Crossing – Los Campesinos – I am planning to take another shot at Romance Is Boring later today, but till then, LC’s finest moment which concludes with a repudiation of, if not God, but our reliance on a presense which is never presents it is a call to arms for agnostics.
Crossed Out Name – Ryan Adams – A New York song and a lost love song at the same time.
Love Story – Taylor Swift – I got this back when only Alix and I were frinds. In the context of a playlist I found it on it still sounds so fresh.
No Baby I – Old 97’s – On an album that wasn’t, this song was the perfect Rhett Miller… blame it on gravity, yeah, blame it on being a girl, he sang, explaining why the tears fall from her eyes.
Go – The Apples In Stereo – In anticipation of the new album, take a look back at this terrific blast of pop thrills.
Little Miss Obsessive – Ashley Simpson – The other Simpson obsesses over a borderline booty call. Her best song.
See You Again – Miley Cyrus – Where Miley is just being Miley and she should do it more often. “I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I was thinking about over well doctored drums
.
South Georgia Sugar Babe – Justin Townes Earle – He intruced this song at Joe’s Pub with an hysterical story about the girl he wrote about it -one of those there is only one girl for me, unfortunately she drives me crazy.
Folk’ Around – Panic At The Disco – Most likely they go there way and I go mine.
