Does anyone love Red House Painters?
I get name mixed up with the band "Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry" or the band "Red Temple Spirits".
Only know few of their songs, hard to recall (recorded tracks I like from radio stations, so they're all on different mix tapes).
"Be My Mystery" (if that's title) is only one I can think of, but I'm sure there are more that I've heard & liked.
Did recently see New Yorker magazine article about guy who used to be part of Red House Painters, now he runs an eclectic music club (small venue). I posted about it on WP, but not sure which thread...
Found it:

A note, in passing, on another article "Largo Nights", in same issue of magazine: Dana Goodyear's story on "Largo", a small, atmospheric, unique nightclub (for music & comedy) mentions club owner Mark Flanagan. Says he used to work with autistic children, teaching them to sing along with his guitar.

"I like things that are though-provoking, emotional, and have a sense of humor," Flanagan told me. "There's a streak of crazy in the best ones. When you work with very talented artists it's a very fine line. I worked with autistic children for eight years. You see these similarities. They can tap into the muse so easily." He takes pleasure in the artists' quirks.
