Daily Jam - Pinned Together, Falling Apart

It feels a little bit like they may have been a little forgotten over the years, but i think you could make a pretty convincing case that "No Cities Left" from Montreal band The Dears is one of the best albums of the '00s.  Dense, layered, and emotional stuff, it can put you in the same kind of state as listening to Morrissey does, but without all the baggage and bullshit.  Check out "Pinned Together, Falling Apart," a track that moves from a cacophony of orchestral noise to silence to aching lament.  It's our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Lost in the Plot

Ah, The Dears' "No Cities Left" LP, one of those albums that ended up in my grubby little hands because the clerks in the record store were playing it and it caught me.  Here's "Lost in the Plot," our Daily Jam.
