Comment:

this will maybe take up about 1/15 of our drive from boston to chicago. track 11 is from my friend Molly's amazing audio project about dead pets. it turns out that sometimes the predictable songs on the album are just the best songs to drive to. it also turns out that sometimes covers are really good to drive to.

Have to love that Lola cover. I have that in my library, it's very fun to drive to. Really like the Big Star and the Pavement. Are you a fan of Rob Sheffield's writing?
