Twin Falls was i think the first built to spill song i ever heard and still has a special place in my heart. Its got quite a magical melancholy vibe that i dont think any other built to spill song has and is just great. I wonder what would have happened if i didnt hear it

I’ve made no secret of my Jon Brion enjoyment on this account, and once again I have one of his songs stuck in my head. While I prefer his solo era stuff to his stuff with the grays mildly, these songs are still fantastic and get in my head a lot

Really love this tune and i think mary’s voice fits it so well. Very cool hearing an Elliott Smith tune that he didnt sing. It really sounds like one of his songs and its great

I didnt realize this was a cover. The original is better i think. Very different but both great
Got a CD copy of this Bette Midler album a few months ago at an estate sale because she covered “boxing” by ben folds on it, but the first tune off the record is also really great. Rest of the album is just ok but this first tune is a nice ballad. I keep coming back to it.

Ive made no secret of the fact that im a huge ben folds fan. I love all 3 of the original ben folds five albums equally but recently ive been really digging into the self titled record again. What a perfect record. So good.

Addicted to this song rn. Its just really catchy imo and i like this guy’s voice, it is kind of low (still higher than i can sing in my chest voice by a tiny bit). There’s a million other songs i love that sound like this but im always happy to have more

Never thought id post a country song on here. Heard this song from a compilation and by my assessment is just a great power pop tune in disguise and wow its so great in my opinion

Domino by Diners is probably the #1 album i associate with summer and i just cannot recommend it enough. Catchy and fun modern power pop without really any of the baggage the genre is known to carry lyrically. Been listening to it again recently; still amazing.

I think im getting super hooked on sugarplastic now. At least radio jejune and bang, the earth is round. Hoping their other albums are this good. XTC swag but feels closer to modern indie rock/pop to me in many ways.
