i may be a bird in a cage but at least it's your cage

My computer has been through so much crap that my highest playcount right now is 8. But I will answer this top five anyway, because it is more fun than working.

1. Neighborhood #1 (tunnels) by the Arcade Fire.

2. Lone Wolf by the Eels. Like, I have that Eels album that came out when I was in high school, the one with the freaky people with their large eyes. And it's okay, but I kind of thought I was done with the Eels. But this song is awfully catchy.

3. The Ship Song by Heather Nova. A Nick Cave cover. OMG. That is all.

4. If You Wear That Velvet Dress. Cover of the U2 song by Jools Holland, except Bono helps out. I was mostly meh about this song when it came out, but I heart the cover. In fact, I heart covers in general.

5. Your Ghost by Kristin Hersh & Michael Stipe. Probably not a song I should listen to quite so much, all things considered. I pad through the dark and call you on the phone / push your old numbers and let your house ring / till I wake your ghost.
