"The Jessica Numbers" + "Burning Paper" + "Brand - New - Life"

Another tremendous track off Twin Cinema (2005) by the New Pornographers is "The Jessica Numbers":


Why I don't always keep this album on my iPod, I do not know. I think I overplayed it when it first came out. But I am always surprised when I pick it back up.

"The Jessica Numbers" was a good cut to begin the evening's run. The run ended with "Burning Paper" off the underappreciated Dare to Be Surprised (1997) by The Folk Implosion:


During the noon lunch hour I drifted off to sleep in the darkened file room sensory deprivation tank listening to "Brand - New - Life" off Colossal Youth (1980) by Young Marble Giants. An amazing experience:


My buddy Oliver lent me this album to listen to in the summer of 1983. I'll never forget it. It sounded so pure and deep.
