“Love Is Overtaking Me,” by Arthur Russell, has overtaken me (on repeat, in my head, for about a month). From the compilation of same name.
“One Day,” by Sharon Van Etten, from her 2010 record, Epic. I couldn’t find a decent-sounding YouTube page for this—hence, the upload. My favorite new singer.
In case anyone was wondering…

Cute record store girl: (beat) Excuse me?
End scene / flirtation.
