"Heart Songs," from Weezer's (red album). I like to put it on repeat.

Totally unrelated to good songs, or music in general: I probably should mention that my new book, "50 Sad Chairs," is out. It's published by the weird and wonderful folks at BlueQ. It's a nice little photo book of the sad chairs of St. Louis. No, really. Discarded chairs in alleys. Abandoned chairs on street corners. Abused chairs on loading docks. You get the picture. You're gonna like it.Check

Shit, I love Moviola. Have for almost 15 years now (shit!, again).The band's latest, "Dead Knowledge," features a gem called "Rudy," which makes me both joyful and sadly nostalgic at the same time. Here's a video from the CD release at Used Kids. [2007]

Very little activity here (mostly because I seem to be listening to the same stuff over and over). But here's something new to me: "Monkey!!! Knife!!! Fight!!!" by Minus the Bear. I'm also liking the first track from that "Highly Refined Pirates" album, "Thanks for the Killer Game of Crisco Twister." [2002]

Wow, I must thank my old friend Bohb for turning me on to Midlake. I haven't this hard fallen for a band since Doves or DBT. [2006]

Goodness, it's getting dusty around here. Anyway, we've had a song from the 1950s playing over and over in our house: "Sh-Boom" by The Chords. It's on the Cars soundtrack and our three-year-old loves it -- but I do too. [1954]

15 years on, I still love "Rhinoceros" by Smashing Pumpkins. [1991]

The title track from Sufjan Stevens' "The Avalanche: Outtakes & Extras from Illinois Album." Yummy. [2006]

One that sometimes gives me chills: "Jesus the Mexican Boy" by Iron & Wine, from the "The Sea and the Rhythm" EP. [2003]

Cat Power's new record "The Greatest" is my favorite by her since "What Would The Community Think." I really like the lilt of track #4, "Could We." [2006]

In high school, we wore out our Fugazi tapes, Those first two EPs kicked us in the head every time we listened to them. It's ridiculously pleasing that I still love their music. That I haven't outgrown it like I have with a fair amount of other stuff. 13 Songs. Good. [1988 & 1989]

Attack of the meme...• Total volume of music on my computer: 101.3 GB (24,534 songs, 60.5 days)• The last CD I bought: Athlete's "Tourist" (at their show last week)• Song playing right now: "Count Me Out" by the Del McCoury Band (bluegrass!)• Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:1) Doves "M62 Song" (Liam's 1st theme song)2) Athlete "Vehicles and Animals" (Liam's 2nd theme song)3

Heard this on KDHX and liked it. Googled, found the MP3 for free on Amazon. Nice. Chuck Prophet: "Pin a Rose on Me." Happy Valentine's Day, freaks! [2004]

Diane got me "The Life Aquatic" soundtrack because we liked the film and it had some great acoustic Bowie covers in it (in Portugese). The other night she asked me what my favorite Bowie song was, and without pause, I said "Five Years." [1972/2004]

Here Come The ABCs! | They Might Be Giants has a new CD/DVD coming out next month that features some completely excellent kid songs, and fun animations to go with them. Have a toddler learning the ABCs? GET THIS. The songs will get stuck in your head in the same maddening way kid songs do, but the songs are outstandingly fun and smart. Especially "C Is For Conifer" -- one of my favorites on the

Legendary radio DJ John Peel dies :-( ...tonight we'll listen to "Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones for him. [1978]

"On Our Wings" by Iron & Wine. Overall, really good little songs on all his releases. [2004]

Long time no post. New job means I don't really listen to much music at work anymore. Anyway -- Husker Du: "Books About UFOs." [1985]

It's probably because I've been in the house that Bill Wagner sings about, in that neighborhood in Athens, Ohio ... but I still think I'd like "The Old West End" by the Bygones even if I had never been there. [2002]

Yesterday, in a fit of work-crunch, stress-induced, deadline-looming productivity, I put Swervedriver's "Duress" (8:03) on repeat and listened to it 17 times in a row. [1993]

I have always liked "Prison Bound" by Social Distortion, even though we used to joke that the drummer always played the same thing on every song. [1988]
