30 day music meme #30

Aaaaand done! Thanks for sticking around through this. Hope people found something worth listening to over these 30 posts, and that I didn't annoy people looking for fandom stuff too much.

30. A song that reminds you of yourself
Courtney Barnett - Pedestrian At Best 

Watch on YouTube

Courtney Barnett is easily one of the best new artists to come along in the last 10 years for me; the way her lyrics tumble out head-over-heels with enough humour to offset the self-doubt, half-spoken and half-yelled, all internal rhymes and angular contradictions out of meter... (As someone put it in the Youtube comments, "Why would she end the song on the line 'I'm a scorpio' when the whole thing is the most scorpio thing ever?") And I love the irony that she followed up her first few underground hits with a theme song about impostor syndrome and the fleetingness of hipster popularity that became her biggest hit to date, because somehow it's just a perfect little retro-grunge pop song that's so damn secure in its insecurities.
Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you
Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you
Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey
I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny
