Captain America theme, by Alan Silvestri

It’s hard to beat Alan Silvestri composing for an old-school American action-adventure. “Patriotism swells in the heart of the American bear.”

You Belong To Me, by Jason Wade

There is no excuse for not loving Jason Wade’s You Belong To Me. None whatsoever.

Fools, by The Dodos

How has it been this long since I last listened to Fools, by The Dodos?

My review of “Helplessness Blues” was re-published!

I was raised up believing I was somehow unique, but it turns out that other people really like Fleet Foxes, too! (Oh well.)

A week or two ago, I was contact by my old friend Holgrave, of The Hipster Conservative, who asked whether I would mind their site re-publishing my post, Why “Helplessness Blues” is the most important song of my generation, as part of their May issue.

I did not mind. I was pleased as punch and said yes, provided that they append a sufficiently hipster by-line. I’m not actually sure if I’m either hipster or conservative (for my general approach to politics, I recommend Baby’s a Red by House of Heroes) but I’m happy that my article was of interest to Holgrave and his readers.

So, here’s the review on their site. Thanks Holgrave, and the whole gang at THC, for the kind re-publish!

Red Eyes, by Switchfoot

How have I not already posted up “Red Eyes” by Switchfoot? Thought I had. Ludicrous oversight.

U.F.O., by Coldplay

UFO, by Coldplay, is all kinds of appropriate right now.

Lord I don’t know which way I am going
Which way the river’s going to flow
It just seems that upstream I keep rowing
Still got such a long way to go
Still got such a long way to go

And that light hits your eyes
I know I swear we’ll find somewhere
The streets are paved with gold

Bullets fly split the sky
But that’s alright sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes
