^ Well, it's clear to me that you know a whole lot about music - and often in some obscure unfashionable corners too. I think that's what appeals to me about your recs.

The Front Bottoms: Raining
^ A song that starts " It was raining the day they let me out of the hospital" promises to be too emo to be true - but this song really works imo. It's not as OTT as we might imagine from the first line: it's easy on the ear with its poppy "ooh-ooh-ooh", but it still makes a clear statement of individual disaffection. A nice combination.
