The Old 97’s - Jagged (via toomuchhappiness.com)

A song for the way I’m feelin’.

The Old 97’s - Big Brown Eyes (via dividing.wordpress.com)

Though I’ve heard this song a thousand times, the cleverness of the lyrics never cease to amaze me.

Westfall - Okkervil River (via shellgrowback.blogspot.com)

A song about childhood memories and murder.

Black - Okkervil River (via prettygoeswithpretty.typepad.com)

My brother tried for years to get me into this band and I finally did (around the same time everyone else did).  It was all worth it.

Camera Obscura - Swans (via http://ryanssmashinglife.blogspot.com)

My favorite song from the new album.

Camera Obscura - Let’s Get Out Of This Country (via http://djmonstermo.blogspot.com/)

Listening to Camera Obscura always makes me think about being somewhere other than behind a desk listening to their music.

Lucero - What Are You Willing To Lose (via www.fuelfriendsblog.com)

Song #2 today is a new one.  The horns are great, the piano’s great, the chorus is great.  What else do you want?

Lucero - Sweet Little Thing

Lucero’s been getting some hype for a while now and it’s much deserved.  One of their best songs off of probably their best album (Tennessee).

Dinosaur Jr. - FreakScene (via mergerecords.com)

I couldn’t find any of the newer songs I really like so I’m going with a classic for song #2 from Dinosaur Jr today.  One of the best songs of the last 25 years for sure.

Dinosaur Jr. - What Else Is New (via http://www.sonicitchmusic.com/)

This week’s Twos-day edition will include my very favorite band of all-time.  We’ll start with my very favorite song of all-time.  I’ve probably listened to it 10,000 times in my life but I never get sick of it.
