Day 18: A song with a one word title

There's something about the movie Mallrats which seemed kinda effortless. It was funny, rude in that immature 90s dude way, and the soundtrack was exactly of that time.
And in that same vein, this song from the soundtrack is a really simple, relaxed pop-rock song that fit perfectly, so listenable:

 
Day 18: A song with a one word title

It was 2006.
Miley Cyrus just had her debut as Hannah Montana.
Facebook opened to the general public.
Borat thought everything was very nice,
and the world lost a piece of itself when Steve Irwin died.

Oh, and Gnarls Barkley nestled inside our heads and never fucking left.
It's been two decades and I still find myself singing Crazy in the shower.

Lady by Regina Spektor (written about Billie Holiday)



OMG, I luv this song! And I had completely forgotten about it...
(There's something sad and scary about being able to forget something that you luv so much.)
Thank you for helping me to rediscover this fantastic song! Chills. I really luv it...

Day 17: A song used in a tv show (not the theme/opening song)

Mini story time:
When I was a kid I went to a month long sleepaway camp. Best summers of my life. My best “camp friend” was this girl who was infinitely cooler than me. When we were in middle school, her hair was in a partially dyed pixie cut. She listened to the best music. She introduced me to Bright Eyes. She had an older sister, Emilyn. Emilyn lived in New York City and played ukulele and hung out with Amanda Palmer and dated someone in The Hold Steady. I secretly idolized her (it had to be a secret because my friend told me it was so annoying when her friends were “fans” of her sister). In high school, I bought her first album Emilyn Brodsky’s Greatest Tits (I thought that name was just the best) and took the train into Boston to see her at a tiny little show she did.

Imagine my surprise, years later, when I’m watching season 3 episode 3 of Girls on HBO (Hannah’s birthday party episode) and I hear a voice that sounds so familiar. “Wow this sounds like Emilyn!” Then the camera pans to the stage, just briefly, and it is her! I messaged my friend to confirm and, sure enough, it was her. I think the whole soundtrack for Girls is incredible and so cool that she got to participate in that.
I still think she’s incredible… don’t tell my friend 🤫

Oh wow... thank you for sharing this one!
This post is 'exhibit A' for what I luv about this thread...
Because the song (and artist) is totally new to me, and it's really cool...
But it's your background story that makes everything come alive!
(And the "don't tell my friend" is a hilariously perfect extra touch.)
I really enjoyed this one! Thank you.

This song has been playing on repeat in my head for weeks. And, god, I have such a crush on this woman.

“Knee deep in the passenger seat and you’re eating me out // is it causal now?”

This video is worth the watch, too. Really well done.
