("I have talents that I never use. I try to win but I love to lose because I've got the will to fail" and "I secretly am enjoying myself but slowly I'm destroying myself.") The original ode to apathy is on the also out-of-print album <em>Songs of Couch and Consultation</em> (Reprise Records, 1961). As this song was virtually my personal anthem throughout my college career, you can imagine my shrieking delight when I found the record ten years later, with original cover art in near-mint condition among my grandfather's extensive collection."<br /><br />From: <a href="http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/05/365_days_128_ka.html">WFMU's Beware of the Blog</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://borealis.vox.com/library/post/katie-lee---songs-of-couch-and-consultation-1961.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c2251e2fa1549d00e398c9595d0004?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> The Spaniels, "Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight" http://borealis.vox.com/library/post/the-spaniels-goodnight-sweetheart-goodnight.html?_c=feed-rss-full nobody@vox.com(borealis) http://borealis.vox.com/library/post/the-spaniels-goodnight-sweetheart-goodnight.html?_c=feed-rss-full http://borealis.vox.com/library/post/the-spaniels-goodnight-sweetheart-goodnight.html?_c=feed-rss-full Mon, 17 Dec 2007 17:47:12 -0800 <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00c2251e2fa1549d00e398c93b520001" at:format="small" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-small audio-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 10px auto;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item audio-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://borealis.vox.com/library/audio/6a00c2251e2fa1549d00e398c93b520001.html"><img src="http://a2.vox.com/6a00c2251e2fa1549d00e398c93b520001-120pi" alt="05 Goodnight Sweetheart Goodnight" title="05 Goodnight Sweetheart Goodnight" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://borealis.vox.com/library/audio/6a00c2251e2fa1549d00e398c93b520001.html" title="05 Goodnight Sweetheart Goodnight">05 Goodnight Sweetheart Goodnight</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div><br /></div> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://borealis.vox.com/library/post/the-spaniels-goodnight-sweetheart-goodnight.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c2251e2fa1549d00e398c956690005?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p>
