If you only buy one downbeat low-fi piano dirge based on a Tears for Fears song this year, make it this one!

Str8 shouldn't have to seek out Gary Jules' cover. It's been played on KCRW regularly for over a year. Gary Jules plays at Largo regularly, and str8 wouldn't be the guy behind the guy behind the quote from
Swingers if he didn't get out to Largo at least once a month.
Atticus, after giving your replacement seduction album question some more thought, the CD changer should contain the following:[list=a][*]Air, soundtrack to
The Virgin Suicides[*]Zero 7,
Simple Things (one Brit crit called it "the babymaker album of the year"[*]Kings of Convenience,
Quiet is the New Loud[*]Dido,
No Angel (Had to look up the title, but all American women 24-34 own this album.)[*]Hem,
Rabbit Songs (I listened to it again, and my recommendation was solid.)[*]Sarah McLachlan,
Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (all women 29-39 have this album.)[*]Cowboy Junkies,
The Trinity Sessions (never hurts to have an ace in the bullpen.
Lay It Down would take second prize. Avoid
Black Eyed Man. "Murder, Tonight, In the Trailer Park" doesn't mix with seduction. Same goes for
The Caution Horses. "Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning" includes a casual reference to wife-beating.[/list=a]
