Making it through the “A”s and foiled in several prior attempts to post songs contextually.
So what the hell.

This one reminds me of my college hall-mate Cheryl Cross, who loaned me the Pixies “Trompe le monde” (and whose copy I may still have). The Pixies capitalized “Le” and “Monde,” but the mental and physical abuse I absorbed while an exchange student at the Universite Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3 a hundred years ago forces me to only capitalize the first letter of the phrase.
The Pixies: Alec Eiffel

I woke up with this song stuck in my head today. And for some reason I can’t upload it.
So sadly I have to use the lame YouTube link since I can’t even find their old video for this.

I’m a little out of alphabetical order again today. And more notable: I’ve had to take down songs that I posted a few days ago in the interest of saving space so I can post new songs! So, download today, don’t wait.
About these selections: I bought a couple Okkervil River records but didn’t like anything else they did as much as this one song. I had a Nada Surf record back in the late 90s and like it, but this song just stuck in my head. Same for the others. Cheers!
John Vanderslice: Too Much Time
Nada Surf: Blonde on Blonde
New Roman Times: Smoke In Your Disguise
Okkervil River: Our Live is Not a Movie or Maybe
Shout Out Out Out Out: Bad Choices
