thanks to Stage Banter for directing me towards Barsuk's website for free MP3's....there was also a great song on there by Travis Morrison called "People Die". I also got a couple of The Long Winters songs I hadn't heard. I feel like I hit the lottery.

btw...I listen to too much modest mouse.
There's NOTHING wrong with listening to Modest Mouse..... Is there really such a thing as too much???
Here's what I've been digging on for the past couple of days...
Particularly the track 'The Rat.' I guess that it's the single. I remember hearing it on Q101 in Chicago when the album came out when they did the indie music show on Sundays, though I've been hearing it on the satelite radio at work lately, and as usual it seems to apply to my life currently.
Bring it on, I'm fully prepared to defend my current obsession. Gnarls Barkley is like crack. After that first taste I needed more. I heard "Crazy" and fell in love with the vocals. Then I bought the CD and played it endlessly for about three days. After a while I began to see inside the music. The images become vivid and it's almost like walking around in a world created by Gnarls Barkley. Tis truly a beautiful thing.
For those wondering - I was stone sober.

I picked up a bunch of Martin Gore's solo work about a month ago and I've been hooked on Conterfeit 2 for the past couple of days.
"If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me, even if it's not my child. If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for her prescription and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it's not my grandmother. If there's an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties."
