Back

I'm back. In a stripped down, very minimal form. I'm actually just planning on posting individual songs every day or two or seven, with a little blurb about the song. I guess I've entered the Twitter age. And I'm not even on Twitter!

So my first post is "Things You'll Keep" by the Apartments. They are an Australian band from the 80s. I had never heard of them until I read an interview with Dan Bejar, in which he referred to them as an influence. I really like the atmosphere of this song, especially the way it "kicks in" by going from melancholia to a slightly less lethargic melancholia. I also like the lyrical hook of "Some things you were never meant to lose."
