So there's this song by Joanna Newsom that reminds me of one of my estranged sisters. And it is POISON. It hurts to hear, and it keeps popping up in unfortunate places--a head shop PA, most recently.

And then it gets stuck. For days on end, all I can hear is that treacly-sad harpsichord line and Newsom singing "Na na-na-na" in that weird longing screech.

And it drove me a new technique for defanging earworms. I filked it into a reference to a Youtube Poop*. Now it's a song about renting a horse, every half hour of every day, it just makes me giggle, and it has lost all power over me.
