I was just listening to the album and when Avril 14th came on I was like “I know this from somewhere” but couldn’t place it. I had to google. Turns out it was this.

The tens was harder than I thought bc my memory is shot and stuff I remembered being from then was actually from the aughts. This one felt very 10s to me and ended up being right. Also a banger.

1. Superchunk - Bruised Lung
2. The Mountain Goats - Rocks In My Pocket
3. Shallowater - God’s Gonna Give You a Million Dollars

Musically, I love how the song rolls in like a wave starting with just bass line & drums and dissolves into swirling eddies of horns, organs, guitar and whatever else they threw in there that I’m not musically inclined enough to identify.

I know I’m probably wasting my 12 on an album track, but this had to be my top pick. This album was my lockdown companion and no track on it hit me harder than this one. Particularly the seemingly prescient line “Everything becomes a blur from 6 ft away, get used to this.”
