WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Saturday Favorites: Moving Season

Posted over 2 years ago
The moving vans have finally awoken from hibernation this weekend, and folks are cramming their possessions into vans and humping them across town, only to get the sofa stuck on the third-floor landing. Whenever I see a couple getting ready for a move, I think of this song, luxuriating in its jangly layerosity and deceptive simplicity.

  3. ryun says I'm a big Marshall Crenshaw fan, and I really think the album this track comes from, 1996's "Miracle of Science," is his best. It's dense, rich and mature, but keeps the melodic core of his earlier work. He's been compared with Buddy Holly enough that I don't even want to bring it up, but I think MOS is the kind of disc Buddy would have created had he lived past the age of 23.
