Today is January 17th, and the track of the day is the Vivian Girls' "Before I Start to Cry." The song was released in 2009 as the closing song of their album
Everything Goes Wrong. It is a severe change of pace from the rest of the record, which is filled with roller derby, Ramones-esque punk pop. On the other hand, "Before I Start to Cry" is a guitar-driven, bittersweet breakup ballad. The girls turn down the volume a notch (albeit just barely) and Cassie Ramone (their appropriately named lead vocalist) sings of her sorrows in a manner reminiscent of Kim Deal. This song definitely would have fit comfortably into any Breeders disc, as its not just the vocals that recall Deal, but the jangly guitars and rolling drumbeat as well.
