A busy day for me, as it\u2019s kickball jersey distribution day. So a slightly different playlist, with the Spotify tunes focusing on three of the greatest pop songs ever made. Seriously, if you put these on an endless loop, most of the world\u2019s problems will drift away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere She Goes\u201d – The La’s<\/p>\n
\u201cInto Your Arms\u201d – The Lemonheads<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeday, Someway\u201d – Marshall Crenshaw<\/p>\n

\u201cPain\u201d – The War on Drugs. After they released \u201cStrangest Thing\u201d last month, I vowed not to listen to any more early tracks from TWOD\u2019s upcoming album. They had already released three songs, and I wanted the album to be as new as possible when I first heard it, front-to-back. They dropped this track last week. I immediately broke my promise and listened to it once. But I swore I wouldn\u2019t listen to it again. Of course now I\u2019ve listened to it 20 times or so. And then they performed it on Kimmel earlier this week, and sounded fantastic doing so. Some of the excellence of the studio version\u2019s three-staged guitar outro is lost live, but it still sounds really good. If \u201cStrangest Thing\u201d wasn\u2019t so brilliant, I\u2019d be freaking out over this song right now. As it stands, it\u2019s a fourth excellent track from what is lining up to be the album of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
