Imperial Teen
You’re One (1996)
Simply one of the best pop songs ever despite (because of?) a rather pronounced dark side. Thank you.

San Francisco (2013)
This is charmingly odd and I like it. It’s a freebie right now if you like it too.
Tax Day
Seems I’m getting an astonishingly large tax refund this year. That means (a) I’m going to take a hell of a vacation later this year, and (b) I really need to adjust my withholding. Part of it, of course, is that I’m in the first year of a refi so I payed a lot of mortgage interest. After all those years of self-employment and always having to pay more at the end of the year, though, this is quite the refreshing change of pace. In fact, having some financial stability in general is pretty refreshing.
Now to spoil this good mood by starting on Mom and Dad’s taxes…

I’m rediscovering my fascination with the Prefab Four today.

Falling In and Out (1981)
It apparently took this record three years to make it from New Zealand to the US, where it was released in 1984. Frankly, they could have left the outfits at home. The song may not exactly have stood the test of time either, but it beats some of its competition from the era.
