SONG THREAD: A THREAD OF SONGS

I feel like this is a song that characters in Steely Dan songs listen to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-hKBmTAADo">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

This song& #39;s great parts cram through the door like the doctor& #39;s visualization of "Three Stooges Syndrome" on The Simpsons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7tnTucP1UM">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

iTunes (RIP, soon) tells me I have listened to this 23 times, which seems light https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWRgHVamt7g">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Much-sampled ("Thuggish Ruggish Bone," for example) and just so fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lepx24flhaI">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Jazz flute, especially as practiced by Bobbi Humphrey, is extremely good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVoWOSCkvQ0">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

I loved this song BEFORE I just read on Wikipedia that The City was a short-lived Carole-King-in-Laurel-Canyon project

(also apparently Dusty Springfield recorded it which, I gotta hear that) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSJxLAx44eY">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

I listened to this song back to back with "Til I Hear It From You" tonight and a flannel shirt tied by its arms appeared around my waist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK7bwIVrQFs">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

To celebrate their new album, here& #39;s the song that got me into The New Pornographers. Have never gotten more immediate chills from a song than this, a superdense star of hookiness. Was also my first time hearing Neko Case. What a morning! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBAUQaj6EJo">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

I have a lot of residual hipster-y hang-ups about recommending music I think many people might already know about, but everything& #39;s always new to someone.

@willhines was just talking to me about meeting younger indie-music fans who hadn& #39;t heard In The Aeroplane Over The Sea...

and how we both never think to recommend album to anyone because, in our peer group in the mid-2000s, you kind of assumed everybody knew about it and you didn& #39;t want to seem lame, you wanted to recommend the thing NOBODY had heard of...

...and how that& #39;s silly and it& #39;s important not to react with record-store-guy disdain, which is really just you trying to ward away your feelings of impending irrelevance, cultural non-centrality, and death. Which, good luck with that!

Some part of me is still trying to gain the approval of, like, a cartoon version of a Pitchfork critic that exists only in my head. Just for liking things and telling other people about how I like them!

"But enough of my yakkin& #39;. Let& #39;s boogie!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpvqU2cmK8I">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

"...the coolest sounds of KONK!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmOy-YWHdb4">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

The crown jewel of every grocery store& #39;s playlist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK3uf5V0pDA">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Can& #39;t get over this Dear Nora album "Skulls Example." Some of it is jewel-perfect folk songs and LA travelogues, some of it is what if the B-52s did the soundtrack to DUNE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BajcJRn3ZFc">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Another one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw7F8_Ohiug">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vguU2oJm9uM">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

ME: "I wonder if this song has ever been in a movie. Feels like it& #39;d be perfect for a scene where a lady in sunglasses is driving a car."

*searches IMDB*

The lesson here is: break up with your music supervisor, I& #39;m bored

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1kDd6yBQZ4">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Imagistic lyrics over a beat like a department store hold-music tape, I& #39;m sold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiBYJfoNVJQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Appropriately, Vince Guaraldi saved his vibiest vibes for Peppermint Patty. This rules, Sir. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRV76DoIZ4g">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Every song on this album is this good. @pulomabasu taught me!

FOR FANS OF: THE KINKS, GREAT SONGS

Also if there& #39;s not a twee jangle-pop band called Stephanie City, what are we even doing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqjzWgEeETk">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Apparently Garrie hated the elaborate production his French label threw on his songs. Nick: I gotta disagree, dude. Here& #39;s another one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFF7AKJFuGw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Giving @benmekler a Song Thread cameo to confirm: one of the coolest songs ever https://twitter.com/benmekler/status/1227008151041409025">https://twitter.com/benmekler...

Mad at myself for being from AZ and only recently getting into Meat Puppets. There are better songs on this album but the essential good-naturedness of this one is doin& #39; it for me right now. Pulls off that risky musical coloration, JAUNTINESS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PG8CV85abs">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Also anyone know how I can still use this thread without tagging people I& #39;ve mentioned earlier until the end of time? Seems like you can& #39;t remove people from a "thread" as easily as you can from replies

Don& #39;t wanna tell the MINDHUNTER music supervisor how to do their job but jeepers creepers would this ever make a good MINDHUNTER closing-credits song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERvHBd5vNTU">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Rarely had a stronger "Where has THIS song been all my life" reaction than when I heard this in January https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U55HUfjwMKw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Love to encounter an Avalanches sample in the wild https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvTyYajinn8">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

For reference, the Avalanches song it was used in. If you& #39;ve never heard this album, lucky you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3YR-RKrL1g">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

I remember an old @mountain_goats blog post where he trumpeted the greatness of Dionne Warwick. I was like, "The Psychic Friends Network lady?"

So dumb. Years later, @HaleyHepworth put me right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEmmSxtMxhY">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Reading "Never Break The Chain," Cath Carroll& #39;s history of the making of RUMOURS, and really, any excuse to post this song.

Had never seen the video before! Charming! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOSZwjrDpIk">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Have also been on a pre-RUMOURS deep dive and when Christine joins the lineup it& #39;s like that first satisfying moment in an "assembling the team" montage.

Her solo stuff (as Christine Perfect) is great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ti2qB5tyIo">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Huge missed opportunity if this perfect song did not feature heavily in and inform the overall aesthetic of AQUAMAN (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh6lGI1bOkw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Perfect album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gtKfDESlSI">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Watched @TheChillsFilm the other night and really enjoyed it.

Have made a bajillion playlists and mixes over the years. "Heavenly Pop Hit" has been on 80% of them.

Thanks to @brianraftery for turning me on to it in an old Idolator post. Blogs!

FRIDAY VIBES LET& #39;S GOOOOO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQfEe8SljVw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Realized tonight this is top five songs for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASiqxSwHpQ8">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Phone randomly started playing this. They might be a band you had to be there for, but they were really good at making teens in the year 2001 feel like teens in the year 2001 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JseklLoJJYA">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Also I feel like this was driving music for early 00s teens the way, like, Link Wray& #39;s "Rumble" was for early 60s teens. For me it automatically conjures the smell of the air freshener in a car somebody borrowed from their mom

Like, are you kidding? Put this on and you immediately get pulled over for speeding by your former DARE officer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1qlH-RYzQI">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

This song won& #39;t make you dinner but it will make making dinner a whole lot better. Or any activity I& #39;d imagine, that& #39;s just the one I have direct experience with.

Also how has this not been sampled a thousand times https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGwSGKU_DIg">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Not a lot of CSN songs I would describe as vibe-y. This one is vibe-y. I would like to play it at a party at like 2:15 in the morning, when there are such things again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UoneXjfBC0">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
