Hey, I go to school down in Chambana and our student radio station, WPGU, has been playing this song that I really like but can’t figure out the title to. The problem is that they barely take any commercial breaks (which I love!) but the downside to that is when I hear a song and I don’t recognize the artist, I have a hard time figuring out who it’s by. I’ve tried googling it but the only thing I get is Lauryn Hill lyrics and it’s not her. The singer is a guy, it’s a band and it has a Cake-ish feel to it (new Cake, not older Cake). If anyone who likes alternative music could help, I would appreciate it!

Lyrics to the constantly repeated refrain (approximately, the singer’s voice is sort of scratchy)

Everything/Anything is everything/anything [like I said, I can’t make out the lyrics clearly]  
That’s how I feel about it, that’s how I talk about it

the beat is something like

na na na NA NA NA NA na na na na NA na na NA na na na (sorry, I have no musical training)

Hmmm, that sounds a little like something I saw on MTV2’s _Subterranean_ last night. Would it be [“Everything is Everything”](http://www.juno.co.uk/products/140542-02.htm) by Phoenix?

No prob. 😃 It’s very rare that I ever get to answer one of these things, so it was my pleasure.

In the future, you can call or email the station. I’ve done that quite a few times and always gotten the answers.
