People's Pop are currently doing a 'second chance' poll, with nominations from songs that didn't get past qualification stages across the two(?) years they've been doing it. I'm not doing a rundown of new faves on this one (although may do later, maybe), but this match (ending in 7h) brought up The Ice Of Boston by The Dismemberment Plan and I wanted to share it as it hit some buttons.
There's just something so compelling about songs that have people having a bad time when they should be celebrating / having fun. It's also got a kind of desperate meow meow1 energy that I'm finding interesting (potentially too obvious here to mention Mountain Goats). A while back there was a spate of 
-lyrics club bangers that really scratched that itch. Immediately to mind are Just Dance/Lady Gaga, Blinded by the Lights/The Streets and Dancing on my Own/Robyn but there are prob. better examples if I root through .mp3s2
Anyone else have faves in this 'mood'?

I'm sorry but it's true

It feels a very mp3 genre, but maybe because it aligns with that youth era of (fandom/real) feelings
