Minnesota accordion
"Everything Shines" might be the most perfectly "pop" moment on the record and it makes sense that it was part of theThere's Something About Mary soundtrack. Maybe it's the glee in Phil Broikos' accordion parts, or the pub-rooted uplift in Trapper's voice, but it's the kind of song that accompanies somebody doing something joyful.
