Pilot, "January"

I'm running out of days to appropriately play this. Here's "January," Pilot's barely charting follow-up to the smash "Magic," which I think deserved better. Aren't they just jolly?

They Might Be Giants, "I Palindrome I"

A Facebook friend reminded me of a song very appropriate for today's date. But what I really love about TMBG's "I Palindrome I" is its beautifully bitter opening line: "Someday Mother will die and I'll get the money / Mom leans down and says, 'My sentiments exactly, / You son of a bitch.' "

At any rate, happy 01/11/10.
