Love Will Ruin Your Mind - Lungfish

And the Valentine’s Day track is, of course, Lungfish.

Listen to this track with your headphones on, close your eyes and swing your head. By the end of the track, if your blood doesn’t feel like heavy syrup, and if you know exactly how much time has passed, you’re listening wrong.

My Daddy Knows Best - The Marvelettes

It was hard to choose a pre-Valentine’s track, so many contenders. And although I have always found love songs that discuss one’s father to be extremely creepy, I had to choose this one, for the brilliant rhyme: “He says romance without finance can be a nuisance”

D’angelo - Untitled

It’s been a long time since I posted something Darnielle-related, which is foolish. Here’s a newly released track, literally released for less than fifteen minutes from JD’s own Twitter, titled Thucydides 2:58.

“Sense of Entitlement” by Deathrats

I’ve been socialized to critique every part of my own body
I can’t accept compliments or appreciate my own form
But I can’t leave my house without someone yelling at me
Everyday I’m confronted with what other people think
What makes them feel so entitled to my body,
Why am I subject to their desires and what they think?
If I’m denied joy and authority over my own body
What makes them think that they deserve any?
I’m expected to look in the mirror discontented with what I see
And if I feel confidence in my body or my sexuality
Then it exists for you, it’s certainly not for me
It’s unacceptable for me to feel these things, but you can tell me if you like what you see?
Hands off! Hands off!…

“Greed Money Useless Children” - Jay Reatard (from Blood Visions)

Dilated Peoples ft. Kanye West - This Way

I don’t know what’s better, gettin’ laid or gettin’ paid.

Today was all about Nirvana and 1992 Billboard hits aka the MTV-induced destruction of the music industry (this song has nothing to do with either of those and everything to do with the way I feel inside).

I love Smells Like Teen Spirit covers, I love Smells Like Teen Spirit covers, I love Smells Like Teen Spirit covers, I love Smells Like Teen Spirit covers, I love Smells Like Teen Spirit covers, I love Smells Like Teen Spirit covers, I love Smells Like Teen Spirit covers, I love Smells Like Teen Spirit covers, I love Smells Like Teen Spirit covers.

“Raggedy Man” by Haley Bonar, from Golder

Let’s talk about how this song is great and should also be a Doctor Who fanvid.

“Windows In The City” - An Horse, from Walls

Stayed up all night at work, curled up in a coffeeshop, reading a love story that’s too emotional. Let’s listen to this.
