My most recent earworm: Low's City of Music rendition of "Clarence White"

It was a recent Laird Barron post that alerted me to a alternate mix of Low's "Clarence White", originally from The Invisible Way. I like the original version, too, which has a soft sort of sadness with an understated but constant beat and gentle piano accompaniment. The City of Music mix is deeper, darker, and the phrase "I know I shouldn't be afraid" seems almost a warning. The whole things is pretty damned amazing, especially when you pay attention to the amazing photography on display. Great shots of soft-focus followed by striking poses of the band flowing as one to the beat. Good stuff. I hope this version shows up for purchase down the road, but I'll just keep playing it via YouTube, for now:
