New York-based, Porches (aka Aaron Maine), graced my presence whilst I ate dinner, alone, in a Tiki-bar operated by Gen-Zers with sound musical tastes. That has almost nothing to do with why these songs are meaningful; I suppose it was that the melancholy - the debt incurred for a life on the road - paired blissfully with each of the songs below. They travelled well, which is to say they resonate at home, too.
