The Mountain Goats – “You or Your Memory.”

St. Joseph’s Baby Aspirin. Bartles & Jaymes. 

It’s a song about half-heartedly attempting suicide with the knowledge you aren’t actually going to die. Or, as I interpret it, trying to reap the benefits of some major life lesson without actually having to learn the lesson. Which is, ah, something I attempt on the daily.

Another song that mentions Bartles & Jaymes in a completely different context can be found here.

And some Tom Petty’s right over here.
