Fascinoma

[Wryta Thinkpiece 3,344]

I actually discovered Fascinoma back in 2011 while watching an episode of American Dad! I used to constantly think about that episode while listening to the song they used, but after I started identifying with the song over time, I grew to love it tenfold (though it always makes for an interesting "I found this song when..." story to tell, and it's even more awesome when other American Dad! fans know the song, too.) It's from an album Fascinoma released in '08, and even as someone that found her through a cartoon comedy, I still thought it was a bit sad that she wasn't really well-known otherwise. It's practically an injustice. Nevertheless, she's so talented and phenomenal.
 
For a song that mentions dead gerbils, I think it's a beautiful song. I loved when I would walk around town at night and just listen to it. I didn't find her bandcamp page until last night, where she has the '08 album that the track is from up for sale. I'm going to have to take a look at the other songs, too.

Happy listening!
