Box of Tracks Aug. 7, 2009

Destroyer - "Bay of Pigs" (stream via Stereogum)

This is what happens then the astronaut returns home to find his house burned down by the alien husband of the alien wife he fooled around with...in space.

Yo La Tengo - Here To Fall

If "Our Way to Fall" was about falling in love, then this one's about loving migraines and trances with the same vigor that you cuddle your spouse.

Entrance - Lookout!

I saw Entrance once. I vowed never to look at hippies the same way again.

Lou Barlow - Gravitate

Lou Barlow cockblocked you throughout high school. And had the gall to write better songs about not getting laid than you. When your friends ask you about him, you reply: "Yeah, he's pretty cool." And you know that he is.

Radiohead - Harry Patch (In Memory Of)

Thome Yorke heard Harry Patch had died, rented an orchestra in an ambulance, and equipped the equipment with smelling salts. Be careful or he'll make you swoon, too.


Mountain Goats - Genesis 3:23

Just before you die there's a moment when you realize you're going to miss everyone. This moment is the happiest of your life
