Earworm vol. 2

Though this song might be best listened to in an oversize sweater in front of a fire on a cold night, I would be lying to myself and everyone if I didn't post this song as an earworm. Just like "Yankee In A Chip Shop", anyone who has been in my vicinity in the office the past couple of weeks has either heard this song coming from my speakers, or has heard my sheepishly singing it's chorus on my way to the bathroom.

So right now you're thinking any number of things. "Who the fuck are the Indigo Girls?", "What does this have to do with rock and roll?"; "This asshole like the Indigo Girls?!", "OMG I LOVE the Indigo Girls!!" or You're really going to follow New Found Glory with the Indigo Girls?" The answer to 2 out of 5 of these questions is yes.
Screw the haters. Don't tell my you can't hear Max Bemis, Adam Lazzara, Ace Enders, or Chris Carraba covering this song. The Indigo Girls are the best lesbian accoustic rock band ever. Furthermore, if you like this song, try and find an Indigo Girls song that you dont like.

Earworm Vol. 1

I did a post on an unfortunate earworm a while back, but feel it's only fair to post on other songs that get stuck in my head too (the good ones perhaps more than the bad ones). Anyone who was around me at work today probably heard me belting the chorus of "Yankee in a chip shop" by The Matches today.

I bought Decomposer over the summer and fell in love with it, and subsequently the quirky energy of The Matches. I enjoy how genuinely unique The Matches seem. There are plenty of bands who seem to act, play or sound weird of different, just for the hell of it. Not so offbeat as to be off putting, and pulled together by a cohesive sound and feel The Matches are like a really cool and legitimate carnival act, with enough talent to make you wonder what the hell they're doing working for the carnival (or in the case of the band, why they haven't sold more albums), but still a little concerned about what would happen to you if you passed out with your shoes on at their party...
