Of Montreal - “Don’t Ask Me to Explain”
Everybody knows Of Montreal’s brand of electro-dance, synthpop music. But what most people don’t know is that at one point in time they were an fairly good indie rock band with really good pop sensibilities. That place and time was Athens, Georgia around 1997. Their debut album, Cherry Peel shows little sign of what was to come from this band. Don’t get me wrong… it isn’t straight up, three minute pop ditties but it is enjoyable which is more than can be said for some of their later work. — Dave Koen
i forgot how much i enjoy this song. everything about it.

filed under: music that grabs at your heartstrings and just won’t let go.
city and colour - against the grain.
you need not to climb mountaintops
you need not to cross the sea
you need not to find a cure for everything that makes you weak
you need not to reach for the stars when life becomes so dark
and when the wind does blow against the grain
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart
John Wayne Gacy, Jr. by Sufjan Stevens
try and tell me this song doesn’t give you chills. just try.
sometimes i find good music on the radio.
the avett brothers - will you return
things that make my thursdays: good collaborations. i don’t even care that half this song is in a foreign language, it is so good.
Vanessa da Mata & Ben Harper - Boa Sorte (Good Luck)
music good for a listen while you enjoy the atmosphere nature creates on overcast fall mornings: Jaymay - Snow White
Outside the window a shower scattered
Drop after drop of sound pitter-pattered
Pitter-pattered, pitter-pattered
The wall is white and streaked and splattered
The pipes are broken, the leak, oh, no matter to me
‘Cause I prefer this distraction
When the piano calls off key
aqualung - strange and beautiful (i’ll put a spell on you)
sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first;
sometimes, the first thing you want never comes
favorite rainy day music?
