Imagine a 6'5" burly biker guy singing it really, really well, as straight-faced as I could. I walked over, got down on one knee and sang directly to her. She laughed so hard she couldn't breathe. Four days later we went on our first date... and 12 years later, I still make her laugh.”

    1.“In '96, I was a skinny blond guy with buzzed hair and wire-rimmed glasses working graveyard shift at a convenience store in Austin. The night Soul Coughing played downtown, college kids kept walking in and stopping dead to stare at me. Finally one couple asked, 'What the hell are you doing here??' 'I work here.' 'You played a concert and then came to work here?' Turns out I looked so much like Mike Doughty that people thought the lead singer was working the Stop-N-Go right after the show. 'THANK YOU, AUSTIN, WE LOVE YOU – BUT I HAVE TO STOCK THE BEER COOLER.'”

    Portland duo Wampire's second single from their 2013 debut Curiosity, produced by Unknown Mortal Orchestra bassist Jake Portrait. Critics heard twitchy post-punk rhythms, cobwebbed organ and a hint of eeriness. Their first single was called The Hearse, so the afterlife theme runs deep.

    A fan edit that sets Fleetwood Mac's The Ledge to old film footage from the Prelinger Archives. The song is a Lindsey Buckingham solo job in disguise: he wiped the band's parts, played everything himself and sang it kneeling in his bathroom. Mojo compared it to a deranged circus.
