Steph, i heartily recommend it. want me to upload some songs onto yousendit so you can get a better feel for the album?

Oooh, that would be cool! But I won't be able to download them until tomorrow at work, where I have a T1 line (I just have dial-up at home).

all righty! i will get to it. the dls are active for 7 days or 100 dls, i think. so tomorrow should be fine. will post the links here when i'm done.

gah! yousendit is sucking mightily today, Steph. i may have to raincheck until it decides to work.

gonna go watch Amelie now. will try again when it's over.

It's a big GIF, but I don't have OCR. And even if I did, trying to get it to recognize "[Oww WHHOOOOOO!!]" would be a challenge.

Thanks a lot Jon.

Love the comments too! Are they all from you?

I just found out recently that I have (or had, since I haven't seen her since the mid-nineties) a nodding acquaintence with Joe Perneice's wife. Who I believe is in the band.

I still haven't heard their music

Love the comments too! Are they all from you?

No - I left a few, but so did Kate and some others.

I still haven't heard their music

Somehow, I sense that soon you shall.

I still haven't finalized my end-of-year compilation CD for '04! Which is music that was important to me in '04, not necesarily released in '04. And I think I will make a compilation for friends and family, and then a playlist for ME, because fitting everything onto one CD, not to mention the thought of the look on my cousins' faces listening to "99 Problems," was giving me a headache. Anyhow. Here's the rough cut of the CD, so far, so it's track listing order, not best-of order --

1. The Mountain Goats, "Your Belgian Things"
2. Clem Snide, "I'll Be Your Mirror" (hi, Jon!)
3. David Byrne and Rufus Wainwright, "Au Fond du Temple Saint"
4. Pet Shop Boys (feat. Johnny Marr), "I Didn't Get Where I Am Today"
5. Dizzee Rascal, "Stand Up Tall"
6. Deathray Davies, "She Can Play Me Like a Drum Machine"
7. Mary Lou Lord, "I Figured You Out"
8. The Magnetic Fields, "I Don't Really Love You Anymore"
9. The Postal Service, "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight"
10. The Beastie Boys, "An Open Letter to NYC"
11. Rufus Wainwright, "The One You Love"
12. Reindeer Section, "You Are My Joy"
13. Old 97s, "Won't Be Home"
14. Nora O'Connor, "Bottoms"
15. Madeleine Peyroux, "Don't Wait Too Long"
16. Kings of Convenience, "Homesick"
17. Hidden bonus track!!!

A best-of for the year would have to include Jay-Z, "99 Problems," Britney Spears, "Toxic," and the Shins' second album, among many others.

11. Rufus Wainwright, "The One You Love"

Hell yeah, I love this song.

14. Nora O'Connor, "Bottoms"

Ooh, I've been debating whether or not to get this album. How do you think she stacks up against the other ladies of Bloodshot?
