Song is OK. They harmonise well together. I liked how the arrangement filled out right at the end. Doesn't make me want to listen to the album though.

I avoid people for whom Red Bull and Hennessy is a potent potable.― Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn)
I really do love the production and general sound of it all, in particular the keys, reverb and drum effects (like Josh brought up, similarities to Aimee Mann's work). A lot of great contributors - besides the Benmont Tench keys, many other seasoned session players, and Beck did some consulting and backup vocals. Definitely feeling those Heartbreakers / Travelling Wilburys / Springsteen vibes. Kind of incredible that Ringo Starr contributed to "Heads Gonna Roll" and "Red Bull and Hennessy".― Nhex

Glad you are enjoying the images! There's a very thin black line to the left of the images that shouldn't be there. The background base color is actually a rectangle with an enveloping black stroke that shouldn't be there but I didn't note it until now. So most images will have them and it's too minor a detail for me to fix for all 77 images. Sorry for that!

I wasn't terribly fond of the album -- Jenny Lewis albums tend to peter out for me -- but the first three songs are marvelous.
Also, her songwriting's changed since switching to piano.

couple of post vote things. i *really* enjoyed saer’s youtube list of his noms. a reminder to pay more attention to the bobbins thread this year. don’t know who nommed Daz How Starz Do, (maybe rob or breast crawl?) but it became a favourite, so thanks. tho not thanks for having “ten million, ten million for a show” going round my head. poured one out for one of my favourites of last year - Destra and Spice - Trouble. And just to say with Nick B that Richard Dawson is amazing live - one of my favourite gigs last year, confusingly the other one was Dawn Richard.
― Fizzles, Tuesday, 4 February 2020 08:10 (four years ago) link
Had to check, but “Daz How Star Do” wasn’t nominated! It was on lex’s tracks of 2019 list tho, so maybe you saw it there? Anyway, it’s a real fun track. Are you familiar with Skiibii’s previous hit “Sensima”? I like that one even better.
― breastcrawl, Tuesday, 4 February 2020 08:40 (four years ago) link
Ah, yes, I think you're right bc. And I am not familiar with Sensima, at least not as I recall, though i do have an immense capacity for listening to stuff and then forgetting about it until it pops into my head for no reason. (I woke up with Trini Dem Girls in my head the other day, a song I don't think I could have voluntarily retrieved at gunpoint). I will check it out!
