They were all my friends, and they died.
This past month's Vinyl Me Please selection was a fun, mellow record from Kevin Morby, City Music. "1234" is a bit different from the folksy tunes that make up most of the album, but I love it. It's a short, sweet and rocking tribute to the Ramones. Enjoy.

She doesn't kiss me on the mouth anymore
'Cause it's more intimate
Than she thinks we should get
She doesn't look me in the eyes anymore
Too scared of what she'll see
Somebody holding me
When I wake up all alone
And I'm thinking of your skin
I remember, I remember what you told me
Said that we're not lovers
We're just strangers
With the same damn hunger
To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all
A post-Pride Day song on TMIS, this track from Halsey (the first single from her sophomore album) is a lesbian lovers' song. I really really dig "Ghost" from Halsey's debut (bonus video, you're welcome). I'm not sure if this one will get as much revisiting or not, but I'm looking forward to spending some time with her new album.

I don’t have to say goodbye
You don’t get to see me cry
You put me in a glass jar and tap, tap, tap to see how I move
I saw Tristen a while back at SXSW at was intrigued. "Eager For Your Love", an engaging and beautiful song off her 2011 album Charlatans At the Garden Gate, quickly worked its way into my heavy rotation and I became a fan. "Glass Jar", her latest, featuring Jenny Lewis, is a song in the same vein. It's engaging, beautiful and perfect for a Sunday morning.
