alright bodie, before i get a smart-a comment from you- i'm just as busy as you are. so i don't expect a review of my cd any time soon (though that would be pretttty sweet). overall i liked this cd- it was wild. hope you're loving california, but i also hope that i get to see you over thanksgiving break. (for bodiem)

01. my old ways When I first heard the piano on this song, I was kind of unsure. But the vocals and lyrics tied it all together. I want to hear more of this! Even the electric…

Henry Buggy Band - Surprisingly, I've never heard this song before. I stole all of my Sufjan collection from Becky, and I thought she had it all. Usually I'm not very partial to a brass section (I hate ska), but it works here, and it's Sufjan, so I can forgive him. 3.5/5

Big Surrender - Are you trying to tell me something? "You don't have to be a pessimist.." Whatev. Anyways, I really liked this track. I want more by this artist. The vocals remind me of Herman Dune or Jens. 4/5

La Strada Nel Bosco (Cesare Andrea Bixio Cover)…

Float On - I really like this cover. Probably even better than the original, just becuase Modest Mouse hasn't impressed me (yet). This one seems a lot more upbeat, but still remains a bit similar to the original. 5/5

Down At The 303 - I like the reggae feeling of this one. Unfortunately, the Cat Empire hasn't really hit it off with me yet. If more of their songs were reggae-ish, and with less brass section, I might like them a bit more. But for right now, they're a bit too ecclectic. 3/5

The Heart of Life - Oh, man.…

Belle - A nice little intro track for this album. Relaxing. I wish elevator music sounded like this. Plus, Jack is tight. 4/5

Walk In The Park - The vocals sound a bit whiny. I get enough of that when Beeta's around. I like the lyrics and melody, though. Maybe if I heard more of their stuff it would grow on me? 3/5

When I Goose Step - I want to hear more of this guy. Even live he sounds pretty good. The vocals remind me slightly of The Format? A+ find. 4.5/5

Sway - I really like this one,…

Young Pilgrims - I really like The Shins, so this one was an automatic A+ for me. I really need more of their music, so this track was a welcome addition to my library. 5/5

Jesus, etc. - I acutally already had this one in my library, and it's one of my favorite Wilco tracks (of the seven or so that I have). Spot on. 4/5

Insistor - As you know, Bodie, I'm really into more acoustic-y type songs, so at first, I was tempted to skip this one. After awhile, though, it grew on me, and it reminds me…
