I love The Postal Service’s cover of John Lennon’s Grow Old With Me.

Tied for my #1 Sufjan Stevens’ song, this is an interesting old live performance with massive supporting instrumentation. The studio track has a bit more intimacy this lacks.

Karl Hyde (of Underworld) performing 8-Ball Live. I so love this song. One of Underworld’s best for me. This live performance does it justice too! Blows my mind he’s almost 70!

What is one song that comes on and you have to stop and listen to it fully? Something that is part of who you are. Something integrated into the core of your existence. New Order’s “Blue Monday” is one of mine.

The Prodigy’s Firestarter (1996) Trying to get myself in the mood to go outside, pick up dog poop, mow the lawns, weed, and stuff.

Pixies’ Hey (1989)

Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart (1980) A song that never gets old. Thank you Ian Curtis. Wherever you are!
