I am so obsessed with this album right now. I do prefer the record better than the live stuff I've heard though. That dude is doing what Brian Wilson fans want Brian Wilson to do, but even better. Love it.

P.S. I saw Beck on this tour and it kinda sucked. I thought he played too much Guero and The Information songs, and not enough Modern Guilt (or New Pollution!!!).

This song sounds like it could have been on Midlake's "Trials of Van Occupanther". Love it. Love this whole album -- it's what I've been waiting for without realizing it.

Thanks for calling this out. I kept hearing this commercial but missing watching it. I had a totally different picture in my head. Like the end was at a boring Interpol show. Guess I wasn't too far off since it's still a boring commercial.

I have been promoting the shit out of this band to my friends since "Trials of Van Occupanther" came out. I cannot believe how shafted that album got. Total classic for me -- yet ahead of its time. Now we've got Fleet Foxes and other great bands doing what Midlake was already doing two years ago. Good for them! Now if Stereogum can find the good bands at the time they release a great album, that'd be awesome.

The string quartet one is really good even though it seems to only feature the lead vocal track. Then again, I downloaded this and Nude just so I could get the lone vocal tracks. Amazing.

I liked it a lot until the strings got more prominent, which usually the opposite of how I feel. It could grow on me though.

And I agree with Vin, I realize they went to college on Manhattan island, but they shouldn't try to be so post-modern.

I am so sick of the phrase "in terms of".

I agree with adrienne - when will pole dancing become an Olympic sport?

You only figured this out on September 3? I thought it immediately: http://twitter.com/factory_worker/statuses/903002149.

Good call on Lorraine Bracco though, safetybear.
