"I rescued you from robots and untied you from the tracks and you pretended not to know that it was me. (We didn't even kiss, until issue #26.)"

Thank you Warren Ellis, for "Four Color Love Story" by The Metasciences. It's a sweet little anti-folk love song (anti-folk is musicians like the Moldy Peaches and Kimya Dawon, Jeffrey Lewis, Regina Spektor, Hammel on Trial, and Beck and Ani Difranco too, according to Wiki), about living in a comic book. An acoustic guitar and a boy and a girl singing clever lyrics. Some of the vocal melodies sound like The Mountain Goats, and most of the guitar is G and E minor strummed in the exact same was at the intro to "Fire Water Burn" by The Bloodhound Gang, but it's still really nice and goofy, well-constructed, silly and very sweet at the same time.

Their whole album is available as free mp3s on their MySpace page, which is linked above, I'm skimming through it now.

Listen to the song. I forecast an 85% chance that you'll like it.
