RIP Martin Phillipps
Same for me, but it was a combo of the Pink Frost and House with a Hundred Rooms singles.

I obsessed over Hundred Rooms trying to figure out what was going on with those chord changes all the little flourishy riffs.

I was off on my own early on at college, a hick from MT in the big city, poor as fuck among loads of rich kids, and the peculiar, beautiful melancholia of that song just really got under my skin. Played it over and over again in the audition room at WNUR. Magic.

Brave Words is a truly wonderful record, a masterpiece.

An incredible actress, especially in Opening Night and Love Streams. I was unaware she had Alzheimer's, although 94 is a good run.

The clavinet in "Jeopardy" was bumpin', and a shout-out to the director for adding shades of body horror to a pop music video.
