Cold weather makes me listen to calm, acoustic music. And I also love sad, bastard indie music with heart-tugging lyrics. So here's some of my favorites.

Track 1 from Album of the Year
Length: 00:05:10 Year: 0000 |

Track Description:
I feel that if Tim Kasher thinks this is a good enough opening track for The Good Life's 2005 LP "Album Of The Year", then it's definitely good enough for my mix. His lyics and voice are more heartbreaking here than I have ever heard. Especially when he winds the song up with "The way she'd bite my lower lip and push her hips against my hips" and then he hits that crescendo at "...and dig her nails so deep in my skin." Mix that with the acoustic beat right after that's downright dancey and this song is a hook and a half. SHOW LESS

Track 10 from Gish
Length: 00:03:08 Year: 1991 |

Track Description:
I found this song in high school while reading Stephen Chbosky's The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, which is one of my favorite books. It's on the One Winter mix talked about in the book. I love the track because D'Arcy gets full vocal responsibilities. Mixed with the strumming guitar and the looming acoustic bass behind her, it's the type of song I have to close my eyes to and nod back and forth. The second "half" of the song, or Gish's bonus track "I'm Going Crazy" is almost an added bonus. I was always kind of bothered that it got in the middle of good mixes that I was making. But I grew to love it for the juxtaposition that it served compared to D'Arcy's ethereal voice. SHOW LESS

Another high school favorite, Yesterday is so simple and connected with me. So true since many events came to a head yesterday, but wrong since I'm over and done and past them. I'd write more, but you know this song, or atleast you should. And The Beatles can do no wrong. SHOW LESS

Track 1 from Heartbreaker
Length: 00:05:18 Year: 2000 |

Track Description:
Ryan Adams' album Heartbreaker is exactly such. The second time he hits the chorus with "Screw all my friends behind my back/With a smile on your face/And then do it again" tacked on at the end hits my heart everytime. Ryan Adams has a knack for knowing exactly what to say to me. And I love him for it. That and Kim Richey's harmonies make me think of cliche movie split screens of lovers sitting on rooftops singing to each other even though their miles apart. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
"Something Vague" was what I consider my first indie song. A friend of mine in high school played it for me to get me into Bright Eyes. And that's all it took. The second I heard Conor wail "...and I hang like a star, fucking glow-in-the-dark" I knew I had to own Fevers & Mirrors, the CD "Something Vague" is on. I've been an Oberst fan ever since. I really like sad bastard whiney indie music. Call me depressed. I just think it's honest. SHOW LESS

Track 4 from I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child
Length: 00:02:53 Year: 2007 |

Track Description:
I've been exploring Manchester Orchestra's I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child a lot more the past couple weeks. Before I was only hooked on the title track and couldn't move past it (track 1 on the CD). But I gave it another chance. It was "I Can Feel Your Pain" that did it for the rest of the album for me. Taking a break from their poppy sort of indie rock and stripping down to an almost whisper of lyrics and a single acoustic guitar. Oh god damn am I hooked on his humming at the end of the song.

"The Blower's Daughter" makes me cry everytime I hear it as well. Like the rest of the American population, I discovered Damien Rice in the movie Closer. And fell in love with this song. I don't think I have ever listened to it without atleast tearing up and thinking about every wrong I've ever committed. Thanks, Damien. SHOW LESS
