Eels “Grace Kelly Blues” 2000

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLX4orF29nQ

For some reason, it took me years to put together two and two together that this was the same guy who did Novocaine for the Soul in the 90s. Which was always a song I liked in the 90s even though I was too cool to say I liked it. Also, the favorite artist of my buddy who’s always trying to get me to give up pumping gas to fulfill Prime orders.

The Hold Steady Hot Soft Light 2006

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w232K_-hrKE

Top Craig Finn Quips of the Century:

• My friends who aren’t dying are already dead.
• Dreams they seem cost money, but money costs some dreams
• When the Youth of Today and the early Seven Seconds taught me some of life’s most valuable lessons.

Frank Turner, Nights Become Days, 2011

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfGX7qiXB8w

Canadian radio is inherently cooler than American radio, And I believe the first time I heard this I was pumping gas in Vancouver.

Kings of Leon, The Bucket, 2004

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWaFVvVoj4o

Poring out some of my Pamplemousse La Croix for Indie 103.1 in LA. Where I first heard this song during a summer of having my car radio being stolen while living in a cheap apartment in Venice that probably now rents for 5-figures a month.

There really no need for more Kings of Leon, at this point.
