The Raincoats
Okay, look, I know anyone reading this has probably heard of The Raincoats. But I just relistened to this old favorite song of theirs, No One\’s Little Girl, and man, it\’s so good. The way the bass line comes in all mellow during the first verse? And the violins hinting sinisterly in the background? Just…

Ugh. I ordered The Seedy Seeds album, but had it shipped to my old work address. Who knows where it is now. 🙁

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
In Connecticut, I found an orphaned baby mouse in the driveway. We fed him a strawberry after he didn\’t run away. Then, Kat and I named him Huck and took him on an adventure to the city.

Kitty Craft
Kitty Craft is another band that has disappeared. Â No website, no myspace, nothing. Â There are a couple interviews and reviews if you dig deep enough, but they\’re all from the late 90s it seems. But regardless, I thought this was just the best music when I heard it. I\’ve heard other people describe it as…
