Track 13


Fire Island, AK by The Long Winters
From Putting The Days To Bed (Barsuk/2006)
Almost every song on PTDTB is so great and catchy that it was hard to pick just one. Like it would almost be better to pick none at all, just to prove my point. (That notion might help you understand my life in a nutshell.) In the end it was the cryptic mystery on Fire Island, and John Roderick’s tunefully bellowed background vocals that won the day. Maybe my favorite record of the year.
