Craig Finn – New Friend Jesus Lyrics 13 years ago
"People say we suck at sports but they don't understand
It's hard to catch with holes right through your hands"

This is most likely a reference to his alma mater, Boston College, which is a jesuit college.

Manchester Orchestra – Everything to Nothing Lyrics 16 years ago
"You mean everything to nobody but me."
To put it simply, it's a love song.


"I don't know much, but a crutch is a crutch if it keeps you from moving on." has a great delivery. Andy's voice can be a little too sugary sometimes, but he really does a great job on this track.

The Hold Steady – Sequestered in Memphis Lyrics 17 years ago
Fun song. It's about a guy that gets involved with a girl who ends up being a criminal and is being questioned by the police. The verses are a little lacking, but hopefully Craig makes up for it with other songs. Not a bad song.

Say Anything – Skinny, Mean Man (feat. Pete Yorn) Lyrics 18 years ago
I love the intensity that Max sings this song with. There are some iffy lyrics; "dance like a heart attack?" Regardless, I'd give it a thumbs up overall and I'm pretty stoked for In Defense of the Genre.


And as for the meaning, it seems to be about a girl that is mistreated by the man she is with and Max is furious because he cares much more for her and wants to chance to make her feel better.

the "it's my birthday" line may refer to getting cake on your birthday, or cocaine.

Us Funk Team – Green Grass Lyrics 19 years ago
To me, this song is about how some people get caught up in life and forget about the simple joys like "green grass and blue skies."

and the last verse is about questioning the existence of god. brilliantly worded in my opinion.

this is one of my favorite funk team songs.
