A spontaneous autobiographical disclosure. A free-form slo-mo listening party. A song a day. Yours to enjoy.

Cover me
I admit, I'm still a sucker for Mark Kozelek's music, even at its most emotionally raw. And I'm always amazed at his ability to draw the same intensity out of other people's songs. Who'd have thought a fairly minor Cars tune could sound so epic and heartfelt? Slowed down, stripped down, it opens wide, with a voice somber and beautiful like a cello. It's so good you can almost forgive him licensing it for a Gap ad.
We are not in it for the money. Songblague runs on communitarian values, love of music, and a dash of vanity. If you like what you're hearing, please purchase it from one of the remaining retailers who would like to sell it to you.
