At the beginning of the month, KEXP broadcast a series of shows from Chicago. They posted a session by The Twilight Sad on the KEXP blog. It is a good collection of tracks, including some of the better songs from their full length, Fourteen Autumns And Fifteen Winters, as well as my favorite, “Watching That Chair Painted Yellow,” the b-side of “That Summer, At Home I Had Become The Invisible Boy.” I tried to fix the levels a bunch (I think they were so loud in the studio that the engineer recording them kept turning the volume down), and left out the interview in which John Richards reveals (at least to a non-Rob Reiner fan like me) that the title for “That Summer, At Home” was taken from Stand By Me.
