11/12: Kleenex Girl Wonder – Graham Smith is the Strongest Man Alive (1999)
Graham Smith is the one-man-show behind Kleenex Girl Wonder so it's no surprise this bohemian of many talents would write a song about himself.
100-81 | 80-61 | 60-41 | 40-21 | 20-1 40. TV On The Radio, "Halfway Home" (2008) This song feels so deliberately and fussily constructed that it's kind of funny to say it thrives on energy and emotion, and yet...here we are.

Big week for The Octagon (pals of mine from NYC), whose new EP ARM BRAIN HEART AND LIVER is out on Serious Business Records . "The Octagon are the underground kings of lo-fi rock, and the band thoroughly secures its title with Arm Brain Heart and Liver, a free prequil to 2010's vinyl epic Warm Love and Cool Dreams Forever. A little grunge, a little punk, and more than a little poetry combine to make this The Octagon's finest material to date. Their ostensibly simple 3-chord approach to making music provides [...]
Jay Howell made a mix over at The World's Best Ever last month and I finally got a chance to give it a listen. It's super good and while I was listening to it, the thought dawned on me that Jay will never ever run out of amazing old indie-rock songs (because he's really old and owned them all on cassette). Anyways, click on the link above and get it for yourself or if that seems like too big of a deal for you, check out my three favorite songs below. Kleenex Girl Wonder [...]

For those that don't follow calendars, it's the end of April and almost the start of May. This can only mean one thing for me: finals week. Like a terrible holiday, it happens twice a year and is the final marker before I am released into a summer (or winter) break. I wish that break would start today since, as of this past Wednesday, I am in the trenches of the finals war until Tuesday. Instead of keeping on pace with my bitching and moaning, I've decided to throw up a handful of songs that make me [...]
