Since getting The Blow's Paper Television a couple months ago, I've listened to the track "True Affection" over 50 times. Which really, in the grand scheme of things isn't all that many times given my compulsive nature and the fact that the track is only a little over 3 minutes long. The entire album is totally solid, especially if you like pretty melodies minimalistically enhanced by computery bleeps and bloops. (And who doesn't love some bleepin' and some bloopin'?)
And since I firmly believe life is always better with a soundtrack, this song is perfect for when you want to pretend to be the star an indie movie who has just faced a romantic heartbreak (because duh, indie movies are allergic to happy endings), but is walking away with his/her head held high--in that gloriously complicated beauty-from-despair way indie movies love so much.
Or something. It's just nice to see a song that acknowledges breakups aren't always Carrie Underwood baseball bat to the front headlights type of affairs (though, don't get me wrong, the Scorpio in me does enjoy a good revenge fantasy).
The video for the song is classic low-budget kookiness. Doesn't exactly go with the song, but it's charming nonetheless.
So now that I've shown you mine, what's number one on your iPod right now?
