Listen to “Incomplete” on MySpace.

Caroline Lost’s sparse instrumentation just makes the song hurt that much more. In reality, there are few layers between the truth and pain. “Incomplete” (from One More Nail) makes the layers that much thinner. Why does it hurt so much? Because it’s true, of course. And when the song is this good, we love, love, love the truth enough to go through the pain.

The Poinsettias :: “Here Comes Y”

I don’t know what it is, exactly, that inspired this song. Perhaps The Poinsettias have been listening to my brainwaves for the last quarter century, as I’ve often got “Strangers in the Night” stuck in there somewhere. And it won’t come out. No matter how pretty the flowers are.
