    "I love you!"

    that entire engineers cd is one of the more boring albums of the year.

    Longwave! I can't wait 'til they get some more recognition. I saw them open for Doves, and they're really good. I highly recommend "Wake Me When It's Over".

    "Sucker and Dry" is actually off the old Sucker and Dry 7". I think it came out in 1997? There are two versions of it, as well. This "new record" is just a complilation of rare songs.

    I absolutely love the Engineers entire album. The songs are great and every time I listen (which has been a lot already), I hear something new. Oh, and they're great live too.

    recently i've been hearing about hard-fi, was xtra curious to check them out. also recently, in someone's car, i heard me some "alternative" radio and heard the most cringe worthy, auto tuned vocals and song ever. i figured it was just another so cal/modern rock matrix produced piece of garbage.
    then I download hard fi from here and realize they infact are the same thing
    atrocious in a word.
    kingsbury manx and the double are lovely tho

    Oranges Band link doesn't work for me, when I click it it just goes to a page that says OK.

    That Andrew Thompson song is fantastic. He really gets a handle on the robot issue.
