The Simple Things by St. Claire from Everyone Lives Here
st. claire - the simple things
i’ve been listening to this album all morning, and i never want to stop.
in a related story, i’ve figured out that the only things that ever really get attention on here are the things that people already know and love…which really isn’t fair to the world, if you think about it.
anyway, this is like everything you love, but better. it’s got the front porch feelings of iron and wine or bonnie prince billy, with a little of the creepiness of cary ann hearst. it also has feelings. and banjos.
(the ones you love) - a valentine’s day afterglow/hangover mix
this is basically the songs i’ve posted over the last few days, plus a couple extra songs about love and the lack of it (including a katy perry cover, ryan gosling covering the mills brothers, and a song about mermaids).
1) ryan gosling - you always hurt the ones you love (mills brothers cover)
2) helene smith - i am controlled by your love
3) man man - van helsing boombox
4) weed and foxes in fiction - teenage dream (katy perry cover)
5) cloud cult - chemicals collide
6) maria taylor - song beneath the song
7) ben walker radio - angel
8) pink nasty - don’t ever change (feat. will oldham)
9) phosphorescent - the mermaid parade
10) damien jurado - i am still here
11) mazzy star - fade into you
12) sharon van etten - love more
13) sparklehorse with the flaming lips - go (daniel johnston cover)
14) shelley duvall - he needs me (jon brion edition)
enjoy. and don’t forget to buy all the half-price valentine’s candy you can eat. oh, and i took that picture back in the early fall (rollei prego 90).
Don't Ever Change by Pink Nasty from Mold The Gold
pink nasty - don’t ever change
valentine’s day countdown, pt 2. this song is weird and perfect. i mean, it’s pink nasty and will oldham singing a duet about deodorant stains and love…what’s not to like?
“please don’t wear any makeup
please baby won’t you shut the fuck up?
(‘cause you know that i love you)”
‘nuff said.
