Starry Eyes & guitars???

Absentee – “We Should Never Have Children” from Schmotime

You gotta love any song that starts out with “Oh darling, you’re no oil painting and I’m no Michelangelo” only to follow that up with “Some people never should have met, let alone find themselves in bed.” This is a truly fantastic song and a favorite of mine ever since I first heard it. And while it’s the definite standout of the album, don’t sleep on the whole record. It’s packed with sharp songwriting, solid hooks, and dude’s charmingly gruff vocals. It gets the full Starry Eyes recommendation. Note: If you’re going to place this on a mixtape for a special someone, just, uh, proceed cautiously.
