Treasure.

One of the videos that I loved ten years ago was made in promotion of the movie Dead Man on Campus. The song that it was for quickly became one of my favorites, but I soon got into Barenaked Ladies and didn't care about many other bands. Two years ago, I saw Dead Man on Campus and heard the song. I immediately Google'd it to find out what song it was, because I had forgotten. Turned out it was Supergrass' "We Still Need More (Than Anyone Can Give)." Unfortunately, I couldn't find the song anywhere online, not even iTunes and it was only available on the movie's soundtrack (which I refused to special order for just one song). And when Supergrass put out their greatest hits compilation, they put the video on the dvd, but left the song off the tracklisting for the album.
After two years of searching, I finally found it. So here it is, in all of it's 90's rock glory.

Supergrass - "We Still Need More (Than Anyone Can Give)"
buy it or, better yet, buy Supergrass' compilation album.

Also, a friend got me into this group's album, Lost Horizon.
Lemon Jelly - "Nice Weather for Ducks"
buy it!

I'm not sure when or if I will finish the Songs About a Girl thing. Sorry if I disappoint?

About a Girl 2: Electric Boogaloo

Here's some more songs that are simply girls' names. Let me just add that I'm leaving out the ones that have any other words (i.e. "Jeez Louise" by Grandaddy and "Jane Says" by Jane's Addiction). Also, I am very surprised that I don't have the original version of "Lola" by the Kinks, but I do have the Madness cover.


Jeff Buckley - "Grace" from Grace

Joanna Newsom - "Sadie" from The Milk-Eyed Mender

Joanna Newsom - "Emily" from Ys (had to use YSI for both Newsom tracks as they are too big; sorry)

Kaiser Chiefs - "Ruby" from Yours Truly, Angry Mob

Yu Miyake - "WANDA WANDA" from Katamari Damacy OST

The Kinks - "Monica" from The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society

Leonard Cohen - "Suzanne" from Songs of Leonard Cohen

Madness - "Lola (Kinks cover)" from The Dangermen Sessions Vol. 1

The Magnetic Fields - "Irma" from i

Modest Mouse - "Susie" from some bootleg recording

Mogwai - "Tracy" from Young Team

My Bloody Valentine - "Clair" from Ecstasy (put a link to all MBV since only two copies of this were available)

Neutral Milk Hotel - "Naomi" from On Avery Island (if you want the album version, it's on YSI)

Nirvana - "Polly" from Nevermind

Ozma - "Lorraine" from some old demo tape?

I'll put up the final segment of this series within the next week. Hopefully.
