Song Notes: This is from the most recent Apples in stereo album, Velocity of Sound. This might be my favorite Apples record -- it's more electric and harder than their other records, and it really works. This is one of Hilarie Sidney's songs, and like a lot of these, has really great lyrics; "Downtown is like a slot machine" is one of my favorite song openings. Thematically, it's a little similar to "14th Street" from the new Laura Cantrell record -- that sense of seeing someone walking around and wanting to strike up a conversation with them which would inevitably lead into dating, which would lead into getting married, having kids and dying together, but being too shy and scared to actually do so. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
