Happy New Year! For my first Weekly Top 30 of 2022, The War on Drugs hold the top spot for a second week with “I Don’t Live Here Anymore”, featuring backing vocals by Lucius. Climbing three spots to #2 is “Good Friend”, one of the many wonderful songs from the brilliant album Mild Fantasy Violence by Canadian artist dwi. Entering the top 10 this week are “Crutch” by Band of Horses and “Time in Disguise” by Kings of Leon, and the lone debut is “The Outside” by twenty øne piløts.

Both versions of ‘Change’ and ‘I don’t Live Here Anymore’ in this live less productive version shites on their official releases. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKJ5JyuP7WY&t=1192s

It’s just cleaner and sharper in my opinion. You don’t think so?

Yes, these NPR Tiny Desk performances are more subtle, with a purer sound. The video for “I Don’t Live Here Anymore” sounds noisy in spots.

Yep. Less production I say. ‘Change’ is the track for me. I Don’t Live Here Anymore is great, but Change is Epic in my opinion. This is back to Springsteen balladery lol
