I've been listening lately to the music of a guy named Geoff Berner, an accordion player/singer/songwriter who plays all over the U.S., Canada and Europe. He's kind of a cross between an old-world troubador and John Prine, with a lot of dark humor and a wicked edge to his songs.
He wrote (or co-wrote?) the song "Light Enough To Travel," which is one of my favorites from the Be Good Tanyas' first CD. In has some great lines, such as:
"Promise me we won't go into a nightclub/I really think that it's obscene/what kind of people go to meet people/in a place you can't be heard or seen?"
His web site, www.geoffberner.com, is worth checking out if only for the cool visual effect in the art as you open the page.
