Thank you, NPR Music, for making my day week year. All Songs Considered  introduced me to Australian singer Courtney Barnett. For the last couple of weeks they’ve been hyping her debut LP Sometimes I Sit and Think and Sometimes I Just Sit beyond the pale. Today is the release day, and man, is this worth the hype. So charming, so clever, so many elements of the best parts of indie rock’n’roll of the last 25 years. This live version of No One Really Cares If You Don’t go To The Party is the perfect example of the album.

Listening to it, you feel immediately at home. You want to drive around with the windows down. You want to meet all your friends in the park. You want to start a band. You want to be best friends with everybody you come across until you finally meet her. You want to go out. You want to stay in. 

I have a feeling that this record will make me happy for a long time.
