i don't listen to much "happy" music but there are a few bands that are just relentlessly optimistic and all their songs are about being in love. one of them is tiger trap. i bought the sour grass 10" when i was 14 in 1993. this whole ep is like "im-so-in-love-im-gonna-barf" and i still listen to this regularly over 30 years later. since #tunetuesday is about #pulsartwin, i *thought* this song would be appropriate.

Antigonish

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

—Hugh Mearns
