Songs for your ugliest underwear.
There is something about that. About wearing all your ugliest underwear. About leaving the tea mugs here and there, all about the apartment as though you were drying the bags out as part of some experiment. Beer bottles, too. Because who’s coming over? Who’s coming in? There is something about just forgetting you even have a physical appearance for awhile. The opposite of self-conscious.

Here are the songs that are working really well, right now.
1. “Stars of Track and Field” – Belle and Sebastian
2. “Random Rules” – Silver Jews
3. “Help Me Mary” - Liz Phair
4. “You’re No Rock ‘n Roll Fun” – Sleater-Kinney
5. “Disappointed” – Morrissey
6. “Breakin’ the Law” – New Pornographers
7. “Alibi” – Elvis-!
8. “God Knows” – el Perro del Mar
On their way out:
9. "Fido, Your Leash is Too Long”
and
10. “How F’ing Romantic” – Magnetic Fields

To avoid: Anything wistful. Anything sad. Anything even vaguely, vaguely flirtatious.
Happy Spring, everybody!
