Music League: It’s not me, it’s you
Breakup songs (no moping)
- Anna von Hausswolff: Stardust
The Anna von Hausswolff that made me a fan wielded her pipe organ as a powerful agent of ambient, drone, and doom. On paper, the notion of her veering into pop territory would have been a no-go for me, but clearly my doubts were misplaced, as this has quickly become one of my favorite songs of the year so far. - That Dog: Ms. Wrong
I can’t believe this song is 30 years old. I remember when it was but a babe, catching my attention on a CMJ compilation alongside a potpourri of names big and small, like Dr. Dre, Ani DiFranco, and Steel Pole Bath Tub. And speaking of big names, I just learned that Maya Rudolph was That Dog’s original drummer!
