Zack started up the Stu Pot a little while ago, and it's perfect for today's post. I've had a bunch of songs bouncing around my computer for a while that I haven't had a great place to post. I want to share them, though, so here we go!
Gotye - Hearts A Mess
Update: Thought the Gotye track was approved for posting, but it's not - so go buy it, it's worth it! And in the meantime, check out the pretty sick video that animator Brendan Cook made for the song:
On the topic of tunes that I've been listening to for months (or better yet years), here's an old classic from Stan Rogers. He's not your typical indie-rocker. In fact, he's not an indie-rocker. He's an old-school folk singer with a gristly voice. But he's also a great story teller, and this song is amazing. I hope you appreciate it as much as I do.
Finally, another great tune that doesn't really fit in anywhere. It's called "I Don't Want Love", and it comes from Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, an amazingly fun band. I heard this song once on a car-ride and had to listen to it four times in a row. I mean, seriously, the lyrics include "If love makes you give up steak and potatoes, rice, corn, chitlins and tomatoes - if love makes you give up all those things, I don't want love". Dynamite, I love this song.
