He definitely is channeling the same existential frustration that he did in "Time Will Break the World," but with so much more backbone this time. That song always felt overly lugubrious to me, like trying to hang out with a goth kid in high school who you knew deep down meant well but honestly you were embarrassed to be seen around. "Margaritas at the Mall" at least looks you in the eye when it talks. ― del griffith

I can so imagine a latter-day Steely Dan song called "Margaritas at the Mall."

i have complicated feelings about david berman and will never listen to this album but rip

oh good, I've been meaning to ask: if someone never really listened to Silver Jews would 'starting' with Purple Mountains be a good move or no?

I gravitated most towards "Maybe I'm the Only One For Me" and "Nights That Won't Happen" but stuck to voting for the album

Unquestionably. You might think he was always a tunesmith of the first order.

Would've maybe voted for 'Nights That Won't Happen' if I'd submitted a tracks ballot.

I liked Silver Jews just fine back in the day, but this sort of music is just not what I want to listen to at all these days.

Y'all are right about how good that Jenny Lewis track sounds. Great production. That was my first time hearing it and I can't wait to check out the rest of the album.
Mount Eerie track not doing much for me. Voted for NASA, everything in that tune is a hook and it captures all the best things about Ariana in one song. Love Margaritas but didn't vote for it because I already had 3 other Berman songs that I couldn't bring myself to cut.

i'm glad i could help "parola (rework)" get in, astonishing track
― american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, 27 January 2020 16:39 (four years ago) link
tbh, every artist should record a song called "margaritas at the mall", if they're serious

Moka, you've got the track name as the last one! Do you want me to use mod powers to fix up these slips for you while I'm around, or are you fine just reposting w/ corrected info?

there was some talk about parola on the bobbins thread, but was sparked by a youtube link and probably no one named the track in a post

Wow, the Purple Mountains is a track I actually voted for, an unusual feeling.

Hm, listening to Mt Eerie/Julie Doiron. My partner loves Doiron. I actually like the Daniel, Fred, and Julie album a lot. This isn't really what I would typically put on a lot but it's pleasant. It's good that the video comes with a transcript of the lyrics, since they seem pretty central to this. The understated way the music builds and changes works with the text.

Always love these bobbins picks. Never go into the thread throughout the year, but know they'll always deliver great tunes in the 77.

I like that both songs in this Tie could be described as 'avant garde bobbins'. Here's the next one:

I was mostly disappointed with the Blanck Mass album (it's sounds like a caricature of his previous album, which is a bit much for me) but I voted for House vs House because in small doses this can be fun
