LC! is a very important band, especially since they're my favorite band of all time. I'm curious to know why "My Year In Lists" is dear to you, if you don't mind me asking.

MY YEAR IN LISTS

When I was in college i developed a very dear friend/occasional lady-friend. Her name was XXX. XXX and I liked to get together, in our dorm room(s) in the tower complexes, in her car or a mutual friend's car (usually, a mutual friend's who didn't mind ferrying us around), at her parents' house or occasionally mine, and play music. We had a one-on, one-off rotation, which in retrospect is surprisingly equitable music-sharing for our times now. There was a cluster of songs and song-types which she would always play, and a cluster of songs or song-types which I would always play.

EXAMPLES OF OTHER SONGS

XXX would always play "Milk" by Kings of Leon, from the early days

I would always play Cloud Cult, "The Story of the Grandson of Jesus" and Bright Eyes, usually "Arc of Time" but sometimes "Take it Easy, Love Nothing"

"My Year in Lists" was a long XXX would always play, it was a brilliant song and evokes all those times of us in cars or apartments or places drinking vodka and smoking pot in a place of seclusion of people only of our time and space and age.

Thanks for asking.
