Super Cactus

Five favorite songs:

1: A Self Called Nowhere

Somehow John is able to sing in a Bostonian accent without making the song ridiculous. It’s dark and claustrophobic, but it’s also got the feeling of falling down stairs and into an abyss and it’s beyond awesome. 

2: Doctor Worm

Probably the song that cemented the opinion that this was my favorite band ever. The horn section is phenomenal, the bass is great, the lyrics are unforgettable, and what the fuck yes the video guys oh my god the video yes yes.

3: Nothing’s Gonna Change My Clothes

There’s so much I love about this song, and it’s definitely one of the best songs on the Pink Album. 

4: It’s Not My Birthday

Song that could be about an intervention, the weather, suicide, failing to grow up to be what you wanted, and all of them at once. I’m more than okay with this.

5: Narrow Your Eyes

Gotta show Flans some love here. The accordion here is so incredible, it’s stupid, and it’s such a beautifully sad song. Good stuff from Apollo 18, but who was surprised?
