  • Those poor, stupid, damaged, damned people.

    So "broken" in the colloquial sense, and so helpless to change either their fates or the fact that they're perfect for each other...in all the worst ways.

    Somewhere, deep in a filing cabinet in my basement, I have one of my favorite pictures. It's of my ex-fiance and me on our summer in Miami, smiling on the beach. The water is blue. The sky is blue. The smiles are ignorantly happy.

    Something here will eventually have to explode.

    Have to explode...

  • If you understand the Alpha Couple, this is easily the saddest song in the entire catalog when viewed in retrospect.

    I guess it doesn't mean as much if you haven't been there, but Tallahassee is like a punch to the sternum when you read all the lyrics and liner notes together. It's easy to write about screwed up people, but John Darnielle creates lyrical narratives that remind me of some horrible blend of Faulkner and Palahniuk. He's a national treasure.
