We’re So In Love With Our Tears

Hockey Night “Who We Are” – For a song that comes off like something halfway between a pep talk and a stump speech, “Who We Are” is surprisingly modest in its aim and scope. Its “we”s and “our”s don’t seem to reach too far outside of the indie demographic, but that’s fine – it’s Hockey Night’s constinuency, and they are lobbying hard for your vote in 2006 by a pushing a message of cautious optimism in opposition to the dreary miserablism of the emo incumbancy!

Paavoharju “Valo Tihkuu Kaiken Läpi” – There’s something ever so slightly off about this track, almost as though its musical components are essentially unrelated, and it coheres into a composition as an act of random, natural beauty as if it were a pop song created by radio signals overlapping as they drift aimlessly into deep space.
