  1. That's a nice list. I do agree that how to rent a room is you favorite s.j. song. mine too. I'd not subtract any songs from your list were i to make my own, only my top ten would actually contain 12 or 13 songs, among which you would find: the wild kindness, like like the the the death, and I'm getting back into getting back into you. That's it. Hey, what if life is just some hard equation on a chalkboard in a science class for ghosts? ever think of that?

  3. Yeah, picking 8,9 and 10 were tough. Lots of contenders for those spots, ending up just goin with my gut. Like Like and I'm Getting Back and Wild K were contenders.

    Loved lyric of late:
    "The shattered glass cussed
    and when it broke it spoke to us
    It said "Hey"
    It said "I know you... what's your name?"
