Milk! Records will release a compilation album titled Good for You. Included on the six-track release is “Three Packs a Day,” a song by Courtney Barnett, confessing her love for instant ramen.
Good for You is out on Valentines Day.
The song is truly a musical love letter. The lyrics include lines such as, “That MSG tastes good to me/ I disagree with all your warnings,” followed with, “Burn my tongue/ Patience is a virtue.” Barnett really just put everyone’s feelings about instant ramen into a catchy two-minute tune.
Barnett recently paid tribute to Patti Smith this past November with a special concert. Barnett covered “Redondo Beach” and “Break It Up.” Barnett had also worked on cover of “Charcoal Lane” with Paul Kelly the month before.
Along with the release of the song, Pitchfork reported Barnett adding some tour dates.
