“Roll Away The Stone” by Mott The Hoople
Baby if you just say you still care
Follow you most anywhere

“Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)” by The Arcade Fire
And if the snow buries my,
my neighborhood.
And if my parents are crying
then I’ll dig a tunnel
from my window to yours,
yeah a tunnel from my window to yours.
You climb out the chimney
and meet me in the middle,
the middle of the town.
And since there’s no one else around,
we let our hair grow long
and forget all we used to know,
then our skin gets thicker
from living out in the snow.

Full Story“Turn on Me” by The Shins
You can fake it for a while,
bite your tongue and smile,
like every mother does an ugly child.
But it starts to leaking out,
like spittle from a cloud,
amassed resentment
pelting ounce and pound.

“Summertime Girls” by Y&T
Share Formed in the 70s, pop-metal goofballs Y&T didn’t score a genuine hit until the mid-80s with “Summertime Girls.” The video is a diverting time capsule of 1980s excess and oddities, including the Belushi-esque “party guy” drummer, the lead singer’s half-shirt, outlandish bikinis, corny giant mascot robot (named “rock”), and numerous other artifacts from the [...]
