I've always had an achey admiration for people who listen to whole albums. "I can feel the next song coming!" they cry, as though each is a chapter in a beautiful story that must be heard after the one preceding and before the one that follows. I reflected on this when I was listening to one aptly named song 30 times one day (first on list). Thank goodness for headphones; these are some songs I listen to for hours, days, without craving other chapters.


over and over hot chip
the underdog spoon
listen to the music the doobie brothers
danserye susato
grounds for divorce elbow
tick tick boom the hives



silence is good too, they say
