Oh shit, that's a tough ask! Off the top of my head here is a top 7 (in no order):
Harlem Roulette (about Frankie Lymon), Your Belgian Things, Jenny, Raja Vocative, Game Shows Touch Our Lives, Steal Smoked Fish, Surrounded (w/ John Vanderslice)

Yeah. It's actually a really good list. "Love Love Love" is a truly incredible song. How far did you get with your Mountain Goats listening challenge? Which was your fave/least fave record of theirs?
Man, I'd completely forgotten about Panic! At The Disco(!) and this song. The song is better than I remember, the video is much much worse.
Same.
Also, just the opening bars of This Year are enough to make me stop in my tracks.
There's probably 100. Some Radiohead, some Otis Redding, some PJ Harvey. The one that sprung to mind immediately was Never Quite Free though.
I do not envy you! Why is it so catchy? So stupid, so funky, so catchy!
And Charles' face in the background.
I have had this in my head for about 2 months straight now and I blame you entirely.
I love how after that line there's a beat and the camera zooms in a little on them. It's the perfect capper to the scene.

Less than nothing, then.
He always gets a great sound and those albums have a really fun, ballsy energy. I just wish it was in service of better songs!
Fell In Love With A Girl is the White Stripes best song by a long way, and one of the few Jack White songs I don't find either tedious or derivative.
Still nothing for us Canadians tho.
Oh shit the flash is back i'm so excited!
Man, I couldn't read that much at once! of those, I've only read The Ocean At The End Of The Lane, which I really liked (Neil Gaiman is my jam.)
Nice! I've read quite a few of these. A Wrinkle In Time and A Wind In The Door have been on my to-read list for a long time, and I'm always looking out for nice editions of them. They feel like the kind of book best read in yellowing paperback.
I haven't heard of More Than Human, The Demolished Man, or Tales From Outer…
