This disc began as “LA LA LA,” a mix with songs where the lyrics “broke down” – abandoning words in favor of chanting and ululating. As I chose songs, however, it became clear that there was a secondary feeling at work. That the lyrics fell out of the song not because the singer couldn’t think of anything to sing – but because, at that point, there was nothing that could be sung. This disc is the sound of not knowing what to say.

I thought you had germinated in the ground like a Pikmin, welcome back to the Interwebs.
I personally am listening to Jedi Mind Tricks – a track called “Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story”. You should give it a shot! (it’s on the youtubes)

What? CHALLENGERS? Not Electric Version, which devolves into A.C. Newman going “Baaaa, baaaa, baaa, baaa, baaa, baaa, baaa, baaa!”? I challenge your choice of New Pornographer songs!
