"You wanna know what Tommy has to say? Is Terre feeling better these days?" Tom Scharpling and DJ Terre T? |

| Los Campesinos! – There Are Listed Buildings Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"I remember being naked to my waist though not in which direction." The same joke shows up in Don DeLillo's White Noise. It's the kind of thing Gareth might have read, so it could be a reference; more likely it's just a coincidence. |

| Moxy Früvous – Down From Above Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I always saw this one as an ode to parents. You never understand what they're doing, but they're always there for you. | |
| Ned's Atomic Dustbin – Happy Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Song is about a couple fighting. They can't make each other happy, so maybe fighting will make them happy. | |
| Sleater-Kinney – Funeral Song Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Also I think this song has a theremin solo. The theremin makes ghost noises after the second chorus I think. | |
| The Hold Steady – Sequestered in Memphis Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
People don't seem to agree why he had to go back to Memphis. Either ... - he got accused of assaulting her - she turned out to be a criminal - she got pregnant Probably one of the first two, because those explain why he gets interviewed. Also I don't understand this line: "I know I look tired, but everything's fried here in Memphis." Why would fried foods make someone look tired? |

| The Magnetic Fields – Deep Sea Diving Suit Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I thought of it more like a communication thing, distance between people. The character can't connect or can't understand, so it feels like he's trapped underwater. | |
| Sleater-Kinney – Funeral Song Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think it's more about staying away from an ex than about fears of commitment. The first two lines are maybe the most straightforward. I also don't think anyone dies for real in the song. They are burying the love, not any people. The image of fire for an enticing but dangerous relationship, it gets used all the time but it is still awesome. |
