Built For The Sea - Baby, It’s Cold Outside from 2007 Compilation album, A Foggy Holiday-Carols From The SF Scene, Vol. 1
I love this cover. It’s a more modern take on this old classic than any other I’ve heard. And I love the classic take, such as the one Zooey Deschanel & Leon Redbone did (which I think I still need to post). Lia Rose, the vocalist for Built by the Sea can make anything sound her own, methinks.

Copied from confirmation email for your enjoyment:
Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.
A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make
sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing.
Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money
can buy.
We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved “Bon Voyage!” to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Sunday, November 16th.
I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as “Customer of the Year.” We’re all
exhausted but can’t wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sigh…

Beangrowers - Life’s A Bitch Then She Sings In Your Band from Not in a Million Lovers (2008)
The one tune (with small hidden track) that is not streamable on Last.fm from the album linked above. It is one of my favourites, so I figured I would post it here.

Lil Johnny Joke via Ma
My mum is on a roll with these email forwards. She’s becoming lean with them, only forwarding ones I would like. It’s almost like she’s on Friendfeed ;)
The big surprise with this one is the politics are backasswards. I am not sure what this means… It is a tad bit scary and very confusing.
A teacher in Jackson, Mississippi asked her 6th grade class how many of
them were McCain fans..
Not really knowing what a McCain fan was, but wanting to be liked by the
teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for little Johnny.
The teacher asked little Johnny why he decided to be different… again.
Little Johnny said, ‘Because I’m not a McCain fan.’
The teacher said, ‘Why aren’t you a McCain fan?’
Johnny said, ‘Because I’m a Democrat.’
The teacher asked why he’s a Democrat.
Little Johnny answered, ‘Well, my Mom’s a Democrat and my Dad’s a Democrat,
so I’m a Democrat.’
The teacher asks, ‘If your Mom was a moron, and your Dad was an idiot, what
would that make you?’ With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, ‘That would
make me a McCain fan.’
I always liked little Johnny.

“You’re my medicine.”
Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories - Snow Day from Tails (1995)
It’s a bad day
It’s a train ride
It’s a bad day
You’re my medicine
It’s a snow day
It’s a full moon
It’s a snow day
When’d you get down to my bones?
Where’ll I find that wishing stone?
The beads, the records
All the calls, and the drinks alone
First by mind, then by music
You’ll make this all less confusing
It’s a slow dive down
A fast distraction
A strange fall forward
My lame reaction
It’s a bad day
It’s a long ride
It’s a bad day
You’re my medicine
It’s a sinking feeling
Pulls me through the seat of chairs
When will you come rescue me
Find solace, and then take me there?
You say, “You’re not too tired for this life
And it’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice
you’re not too tired for this life
And it’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice.”
When’d you get down to my bones?
Where’ll i find that wishing stone?
The beads, the records
All the calls, and the drinks alone
It’s a bad day
Two miles to go
It’s a bad day
You’re my medicine
You say, “You’re not too tired for this life
And it’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice
you’re not too tired for this life
And it’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice.”
You’re my medicine
You’re my medicine
You’re my medicine
You’re my medicine
It’s a long ride

Lykke Li - Time Flies from Youth Novels (2008) and the Little Bit Single (2007)
A meloncholy tune about the limited time with a lover that runs out to soon… been there.
I sit tight, don’t want to miss the show
I hang on, don’t want to miss my prime
‘Cause time will fly, upon my baby’s back
Time will fly, upon my baby’s back
Stay a while, my baby wants me to
Don’t you go, my baby begs me so
But tide will dry, upon my baby’s back
Tide will dry, upon my baby’s back
I get weak
I get weary
I miss sleep
I get moody
I’m in thoughts
I write songs
I’m in love
I walk on
Fingers crossed, my time is coming now
Don’t you go, my baby begs me so
Time will fly, upon my baby’s back
Time will fly, upon my baby’s back
I get weak
I get weary
I miss sleep
I get moody
I’m in thoughts
I write songs
I’m in love
I walk on
