I enjoyed this trip into the weeds on Johnny Cash's Hurt. One thing I never appreciated, the messiness of the guitar playing (by Mike Campbell, a true master) and production, matches the message of the song overlaying Cash himself in a beautiful way.

Watched JoJo Rabbit on a tip (thanks @vinsanity!) and was knocked over by this song. I'm actually, literally mad that it took me this long in life to ever hear this song.

i learned about Love after hearing "Always See Your Face" on a VW ad a few years ago, then went down a rabbit hole and wound up picking up their album Forever Changes.

I had this same experience. Thank God for Shazam.

I wonder if the band name led to my ignorance of the group and song before Jojo. I definitely think so.

Between Shazam and more especially Spotify (with apologies to artists), I really am living in a fantasy world.

That's a great song! I didn't realize it at the time, but I have already heard songs by Love because they appear in the High Fidelity soundtrack. One of them, Little Red Book, is a Burt Bacharach cover that apparently he hated because they changed the keys, which just makes me love it more.
Then their song "7 and 7 is" has a legit claim to inspiring punk. It's been covered by a ton of punk bands, particularly the Ramones. Hugely influential stuff, particularly in Arthur Lee's vocal delivery and the wild drumming He's quite the story. Grew up in South Central LA, became a folky, but was also into psych rock, surf, and mariachi music, and jammed and recorded with Jimi Hendrix.

Further down the Devo rabbit hole I discovered their 2010 album "Something for Everybody". What a pleasant surprise. Every song is ear candy. This album is more 80s than some of their albums from the actual 80s. A few highlights, but the entire thing is fun and good and worth a listen IMO.

I love this song and this version of it. I have been learning it on guitar as well.

That album is excellent. Sad and wise. At the time I was only familiar with him from that SOB song, which is he neat but kind of kitschy. He’s a really talented songwriter, and the voice of course is amazing.

Time Stands was another standout.

I was wondering why the trendier streets in Portland were covered in ejaculate. Turns out Neutral Milk Hotel is releasing their entire catalog plus a bunch of rarities in a box set… wait for it… on vinyl.

Make no mistake, I’m a big fan. This just feels like the perfect storm. If Wes Anderson designs the disc sleeves, I don’t think the loins of the fully realized good/important music fan will ever heal.

Their entire catalog is...two albums? Right? Only one of which is really good. i think I'm set!
