Elephant Head is a great song. No idea what it's about; it just sounds beautiful.
My top 5 podcasts listened to this year: 1. Comedy Bang! Bang! - it's very different from, and much better than, the TV show on IFC, if that's been your only exposure to it. Basically, a fully improvised show with great UCB-style comedians, sometimes as themselves, sometimes playing a character being fake interviewed. Never know what direction a show is going to take.
2. Who Charted? - kind of a meta entry here, because this podcast counts down top 5 lists from the week (movies, music, etc), and discusses them humorously. The host, Howard Kremer, is delightfully neurotic and strange.
3. Jordan, Jesse, Go! - this is another one of those "two dudes talking about random stuff" podcasts, but it's really great.
4. Risk! - self-described as "a place where people tell true stories they never thought they’d dare to share in public." A large number of them involve public embarrassments and sexual misadventures, if you're into that sort of thing.
5. Analyze Phish - if you don't want to get deep into a podcast with hundreds of episodes, this one has only 5. Harris Whittels, comedy writer and Phish superfan, tries to convince his skeptical friend that Phish is actually a good band. With mostly disastrous results.
