Cake - Love You Madly never fails to put a smile on my face.
I love Cake. Have you heard Cheekface? Their deadpan vocal delivery and absurb lyrics often remind me of Cake.
Dead Milkmen - Punk Rock Girl - My cool older cousin introduced me to the Dead Milkmen before Beelzabubba came out and gave me his Bucky Fellini tape. So this song inspired some fond memories anyway, but then it’s also just so damn good. Absolute classic.
I have no idea how I deleted my comment…

Watching the video this morning, I think this was actually a really formative musical moment for me. Super catchy, slightly subversive, kind of awkward & nerdy bands/songs have appealed to me ever since. I’d say without even knowing it, this song really paved the way for a love of power pop.
The New Pornographers, Falling Down The Stairs Of Your Smile.
Ooo!!! NP! Yes. For me from them, the song “Mass Romantic” gets me boppin’ hard!
Their new record is incredible. Not as poppy but a great vibe. Saw them live in the spring and it was fantastic.
I love their new record!!! Horns, a little experimental, so good. My only complaint is the leadoff song which was a castaway from the last album - it doesn’t fit the vibe.
Damn, I haven’t listened to The New Pornographers in years. Now I know what I’m listening to the rest of the day.
…and somehow I deleted my comment and all the replies. Cool cool cool.
Repost.

Hmm I still see your original comment and the replies on my end. It might be instance dependant
Birdhouse in Your Soul by They Might Be Giants. No reason really. It’s just fun.
