!!!!

So I really love the band Love, like a lot. Especially since you can say things like, "I love Love." When I was in Paris I would sing "Alone Again Or" to myself walking through the cobbled streets of Montmartre, probably eating a crepe and wearing a beret or something. Anyway, I also really love the Shins. One of my favorite all time songs is their "Gone for Good." It is so simple musically--like three or four chords--but, good grief, it is a nearly perfect speciman of a song. Searing lyrics, catchy melody, beautiful vocals... So imagine my happiness when I discovered their Blogotheque where they 1) cover "Alone Again Or" in the opening credits and 2) sing "Gone for Good" WHILE WALKING THROUGH MONTMARTRE. So in love.
