Heard a great indie-rock type song on 103.3 here in New Jersey (Princeton college radio). All I can remember are the lyrics "No one wants to look at you," the words "rules of engagement" in the refrain, and that the singer sounded like the Modest Mouse dude. I am helpless in the face of indie, and my usual technique of plugging a few quote-marked phrases and the word "lyrics" into Google got me nothing. HELP ME I AM IN (INDIE) HELL

the prb website has playlists and shit, if you know approximately what time and date you heard the song.

Thanks- dunno why I didn't think of that. It was about 11:00, so it's somewhere in this block of songs:

toward the end. I know I heard the Ira! track from Nao Wave at some point (unless it was something else in Portuguese, which I very much doubt), and it was about a 20-minute drive, so I'll start googling for samples of stuff around that.

i'll forward your question to some WPRB people, in case no one here recognizes it.

Awesome- thanks! No luck so far, alas.

They played "Le Tourbillon" in that set! What a great song.

ok... we're working on it, but the first guess is hockey night "get real." listen to the first track here and let me know if that sounds right.
