you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind
Artists mentioned:I very rarely develop crushes on the subjects of songs. There is, of course, the girl from "Underwhelmed" by Sloan. Every guy knows her. Every guy has a crush on her. Every guy never does anything about it. But then there's "Suzanne", that purveyor of earthy sadness who may feed...(read full post)

dance colin, dance
Artists mentioned:Grant-Lee Phillips - I Often Dream of Trains (Robyn Hitchcock cover) The Wedding Present - Back for Good (Take That cover) Every year, at the first snowfall, I seem to pine for the previous year's first snowfall.

realize you're living in the golden years
Artists mentioned:Sometimes it is easy to capture an era.

Somebody please put baby in the corner.
Artists mentioned:Lately, I can’t open a magazine, hit a website, or overhear hoboes talking without hearing about "disposable formats".

kill me sarah, kill me again with love
Artists mentioned:All these million little questions breed a billion little more; it makes much more sense once they have something small to believe in again. Yet still, I would be fine if that 'belief' died tonight, because that would be so very Six Feet Under. Music: Modern day hipsters, with their...(read full post)
