As you may know, I like the band House of Freaks<\/a>. About 10 years ago they led me to the excellent September 67 album Lucky Shoe<\/a>, on which Bryan Harvey played on a few tracks. September 67’s principal member was Shannon Worrell<\/a>, and I tracked down her (at the time) two solo albums, Three Wishes<\/em> and The Moviegoer<\/em>.* They’re both quality recordings, and strongly evoke that period of my life whenever I listen to them.<\/p>\n

The girl who introduced me to House of Freaks in ninth grade also introduced me to They Might Be Giants at the same time, and I quickly became a huge fan. I lost interest with the release of the mediocre Mink Car<\/em> album in 2001 (released on September 11th, actually), though I owned every album up till that point and listened to them religiously. For some reason or other, I checked up on them recently, and picked up 2007’s The Else<\/em> a few weeks ago. It’s an amazingly terrific album. Here are two of my favorite songs.
