“Fitta Happier” by the Quakers.
Like Graeme, I love the horn section playing “National Anthem.”

Pretty certain this is my favorite track. Seems like an awful lot of these tracks come from what seems like White Stripes extras, and even though that is not a complaint, I find that funny. Still I’m glad he’s doing his own thing rather than disappearing into his side projects with the Raconteurs or the Dead Weather.

Let’s try this thing. My tennis coach, when I was ten, used to call me “Diamond Dave,” so this song reminds me of days gone by of slipping on clay, white sneakers, and seeing how far I can hit the ball over the fence.

“Metal Heart” by Cat Power.
This was the song being listened to by a father who now has a newborn baby girl in his family. Congrats to Tim, Dava, and especially to Jude.

“Wake Up and Dream: What is This Thing Called Love?” performed Victor Arden in the Caswell Collection, Vol. 8, the music of Cole Porter.
I’ve just seen Midnight in Paris and I was absolutely mesmerized by it, especially this music. It was like watching Inception but the characters were actually people and not plot devices. Loki playing F. Scott Fitzgerald, Zelda, Hemingway, everyone. Just a truly majestic film.
“The Charm Song” by Momus.
This is the kind of music you listen to while sitting on a leather couch inside a club in the 1970s, watching the snow fall outside. A club where the bartender slings Bloody Marys made with actual blood and you don’t want to look any patrons in the eye.
“1940-Amplive Remix” by The Submarines. This is over-synthed and whatnot but, damn, it makes me dance in my chair.

“You For Leaving Me” by Colourmusic. This is the kind of music that my friends and I used to listen to while streaking towards a high school party in the parking lot and feeling bigger than the small town nobodies that we were (are? Yeah) in 1997. Fuck, I’m old.
