Five Day Morning
by The Clientele
song that sounds as if it was uncorked from a bottle. w/ a musical quote from Carole King's "It's Too Late."
La edad de la mujer
by Víctor Jara
from Jara's last album, Canto Por Travesura (Mischievous Songs). 40 years ago this week, he was arrested, tortured, and shot; his body thrown into the street.
Bowling Green

rare Everly Bros. cover that equals, if not tops, the original. Also the first collaboration between Case and AC Newman.

Jennifer Tomkins
by Street People
The grimmest bubblegum hit ever: Jennifer's father leaves her the day after her birth, her mother dies, she goes to work at 11, she meets Tony "whose background was shady," who gets her pregnant and then deserts her. All in two verses! Sung by Rupert Holmes.
Love Story
by Harry Nilsson
One of those Nilsson vocals that just kills you, helped by a typically mordant Randy Newman lyric
