*Marvelous Things, Eisley (They make me joyous whenever I hear them. Chills run through my body at the sound of their opening chords)
*Grace, Jeff Buckley (a top five voice if there ever was one.)
*Bloody Murderer, Cursive (haunting. top notch)
*Rocknroll, Lovedrug (alcoholism, attempted sexual assault, and depression wrapped in indie pop with those quivering vocals)
*Pilot Can at the Queer of God, Flaming Lips (now she’s got helicopters, yes she has)
*(A), MeWithoutYou (so it’s less than a minute-who cares)
*Only Hope, Switchfoot (an all-time favorite)
*Common People, William Shatner (!!! I dream of Transformed Man on vinyl)
*The District Sleeps Alone Tonight, The Postal Service (aren’t we all visitors?)
*Ben Folds Five, Jane (fun)
*Everybody Down, Matthew (another top five voice)
*I was Meant for the Stage, The Decemberists (now I wanna be a pirate)
*Rivers Underneath, Stavesacre (and after Daniel skipped over it last night)
*Sentimental Man, Dismemberment Plan (Travis Morrison’s old band. Slightly better, too. not about whales, though)
*Magic Mountain, Blonde Redhead (fantastic.literally)
*In the Devil’s Territory, Sufjan Stevens (wonderful string arrangements under that folksy voice)
*Coating of Arms, At the Drive-In (makes me wanna beat stuff up)
*Monachetti, Further Seems Forever (I love the word ‘increment’)
*Because of You, Tim Buckley (Jeff’s dad’s smooth creamy folk is awesome)
Just the thing to pep me up at that two o’clock drop
