Snake & Jet's Amazing Bullit Band - "Favourite"
If I were to choose a song to open my midnight radio show in the 90s, broadcasting from a brown-carpeted, basement studio at a college, this would be it. I'd be a junior, I'd be dating an activist named Paige, I'd be an emaciated chain-smoker vegan, wearing clean tight jeans but a dirty shirt that said "Prince Paul!" on it, and I'd talk mostly in smirks. I'd make up movies and then review them on the show, I'd take an occasional call or two, but when 12:05 on a Thursday came, and you heard this song, you would know that it would be my turn to turn the tables for two hours.
This song is a kind of cool I never was. [Buy X-Ray Spirit]
The sound builds like a snowball, like a storm, like ringing a bell. It's the first song on ((Sounder))'s Good Things Come and Go Like Bad Things, which is a waterfall-shaped album. What I mean by that is that I've seen a waterfall before, but I let myself stand underneath it, which is a refreshing experience. What I mean by that is that while the album is fairly mainstream, it's put together with care, with honesty, with heart. What I mean by all this is that I like it. [Buy]
