Song of the Day: Amy Millan “Skinny Boy”

8/23/06, 3:08 pm EST

Amy Millan is the chick from Canadian indie-rock tear-jerkers Stars whose solo album, Honey from the Tomb, will be reviewed in the paper-and-ink version of this very magazine, so stay tuned. But we have been listening to the aforementioned album and just could not contain our pure and intense love for this song. The melody sounds vaguely like Neutral Milk Hotel’s “King of Carrot Flowers” only gauzier and girlier; Amy’s voice is clear and sweet and gorgeous, with a tart bit of heartbroken weariness underneath that almost reminds us of Exile in Guyville-era Liz Phair. And if anyone can find us a new single with a line better than “you’ve got lips I could spend a day with,” we will eat fifty eggs.
