Vitamin Days

A selection of indie/college rock tunes, perfect for slogging through a frigid Midwestern winter. Going for a mix ofwistfulness, alienation, and bittersweet vibes for the most part.

I heard about Nashpaints about a week ago, and then I yesterday I received an email from Stranded Records (Oakland), highly recommending "Everyone Good Is Called Molly". It helped that the email ended with the following paragraph:

Charming and enigmatic, Everyone Good Is Called Molly will resonate with fans of Felt, The Clientele, and The Durutti Column, as well as anyone captivated by Cindy Lee’s Diamond Jubilee.

So, here I am listening, writing this and bumping it up to the front of the Tumblr queue. I'm buying it from Stranded. I hope for your sake there's another copy available - it really is that good.

NOT IF I GET YOU FIRST

The Clientele - Tracy Had a Hard Day Sunday (2000)

This magical cover of the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band was included on the re-release of Suburban Light. It's actually better than the original as Alisdair MacLean's vocals are far superior.
