Alex Chilton is my Nerd Boyfriend

I want someone to start a Tumblr of songs that make you feel like sitting home all day with your tennis shoes up on the windowsill, making wishes on dandelions, watching people mow their lawns, not worrying about anything beyond that next chord. I'll give you a start:

Back Of A Car - Big Star

Here's another:

The Ballad Of El Goodo - Big S...

In fact, I'd just like someone to devote an entire Tumblr to Big Star's first two albums. Don't be afraid to post old pictures of Alex Chilton too. Like Nerd Boyfriend but without all the clothes.

Someone should do that.

(There must be something in the air: I just read that the latest addition to the 33 1/3 series is Big Star's Radio City, released just last week. Author Bruce Eaton writes about the book on his blog.)
