Making Me Feel Dangerous

Shrag “Forty Five 45s” – This song, which is about a stack of singles soured by its connection to a failed relationship, may as well be an entry on the Ruined Music site. I’ll admit that I tend to be rather dubious when people talk about spending time together deliberately sharing records — How many people actually do that? Am I just weird for not doing that? — but this song rings very true, particularly when the singer hints at some resentment for the way her ex’s generosity was mixed with a bit of condescension.  There’s a bit of ego on both sides, but it seems obvious that she’s only just now articulating some bottled-up annoyances.  (Click here to buy it via Shrag’s MySpace page.)
