ahhhh Regina Spektor was my jam when I was a young teen and every so often I rediscover her and love her just as much. All The Rowboats, Ne Me Quitte Pas, and Us were probably my top faves.

I was made to do the strengths test at some godawful "leadership retreat" for evangelical teens in like 2010. I could tell it was pretty obvious bullshit then, and mostly shrugged it off - it was hardly the worst bullshit they were feeding me. Like a decade later, I got given the same thing very credulously in a similar university job and was stunned to see that people seemed convinced that this was like. Real. Like it took me years more to deconstruct the whole "Christianity" thing, but I clocked the strengths test instantly as being complete bullshit, and it was a serious wakeup call for me in my first "proper" post school job about how people in management making obscene amounts of money are *checks notes* dumb as shit. Also, excellent jacks mannequin takes. Have you listened to any of his newer stuff under Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness?

I heard Cecilia and the Satellite when it was big in 2014, but I didn't really love it because it didn't sound like Jack's Mannequin and I never checked out any of McMahon's more recent stuff. Should I give it another try? also oh my god it's soooo funny that you were 100% all in on evangelism but IMMEDIATELY clocked strengthquest. I guess everyone really does have a line

I guess in fairness I was more like "half in half out" - I was sure the "evangelical" part was bullshit but still broadly sold on Christianity as a whole (and if I went to the evangelical churches there were cute people I had crushes on there, so, I was willing to put up with a certain level of nonsense). Strength quest though? Instant "no". I like andrew McMahon in the wilderness a lot, but if you're not into Cecelia and the satellite, you're probably not going to super be into it? It's definitely still poppier and less piano lead. One of his songs was used in a commercial for the Sims and I feel like that like sums up the general tone overall. My wife has been a diehard Andrew McMahon fan through several eras, and would doubtless also recommend Something Corporate, his very first band, which is punkier and rockier but much closer to jacks mannequin in sound.
