The Weakerthans - Left and Leaving
From the album Left and Leaving

One my favorite songs, from one of my favorite bands. This would easily be in my top 20 songs of all-time list. If you don’t think these lyrics are amazing, then I don’t know what to say to you.

Matt & Kim - Good Ol’ Fashion Nightmare
From the album Grand

I love this entire album, but this track stood out to me from first listen on. What can I say, I’m a sucker for a big drum beat and a string section.

I want to see this quite badly.

Ben Gibbard & Jay Farrar - California Zephyr
From the album One Fast Move Or I’m Gone

The lyrics of the song warrant it as a great opening track to represent Jack Kerouack’s book, Big Sur. I love love love the lyrics and overall feel of playing this song in the middle of a long drive.

Discovery - Swing Tree
From the album Discovery

I stumbled onto this song in the middle of an Urban Outfitters’ LSTN Mix, and would easily call it one of my favorite electronic tracks I’ve ever heard.

The Decemberists - Raincoat Song
From Always the Bridesmaid Vol. 3

To say I love this song would be an enormous understatement. One of my favorites of all-time for rainy and not rainy days. Perfect lyrics, perfect guitar, and perfect melody, if you ask me.

She & Him - In The Sun
From the album Volume Two

Here’s a new one from a band that makes feel like there’s still hope that the oldies I always loved from the 50s and 60s won’t ever die. Plus, it’s Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, so how can you lose?
