Who invited Paul Simon? I didn't invite him. Totally impossible to get this out of my head.
Getting this next week, and pretty excited about it. Ought is one of my favorite new bands right now, and I'm just eating up everything I can.

"Who started a fire? Yeah that one, over there / Who invited Paul Simon? I DIDN'T INVITE HIM."
#Top31Tracksof2014: Ought exploded onto my radar this year with their absolutely fantastic debut album "More Than Any Other Day". Like a cross between The Fall and Talking Heads, their complexly simple instrumentals combined with frontman Tim Beeler's hilarious yet poignant, carefully rehearsed stream-of-consciousness lyrics are a musical contradiction that works totally and that I can't get enough of.
However, the song of theirs that I dig the most is this re-recording of a demo from their 2011 EP. The central riff is super catchy, the lyrics are hilarious yet paint a vivid picture of a hipster party, and it's so much fun that its 7 minutes just fly by. I really hope these guys become big to some kind of degree, because they deserve success! #bestof2014
