Jack's Track of the Day v2

[Jack of Arcades]

I was doing this before, but the combination of actual stuff to do and the kinda enforced no-piracy rule helped shut it down. I'm bored, and my last thread with a bunch of mp3s was a huge hit, so let's go.

Every day I will provide a link (not upload) to an mp3 file or a YouTube video of an awesome song that's preferably come out within the last year.

Sep 5 2006: M. Ward - To Go Home

M. Ward's most distinctive quality is his singing. His voice manages to both warm and haunt at the same time, sounding like a warped vinyl. This comes from his 5th studio album Post-War (Amazon link), released on August 22.

"To Go Home" is a Daniel Johnston cover featuring Neko Case. Everything about the song is masterful, including the drumming and Neko Case's voice. I've listened to the song, oh, 30 times today, and I can't imagine it not being liked.
