I think Peter put me onto this band a while back. I didn't pay a huge amount of attention, but of late when their songs come up on my exquisitely crafted random playlists, I tend to get really excited and think "Hey, what is this?" and it's always them, and I think it's great. I need to actually sit and listen to an entire album and see what the deal is. Unless someone can just tell me what the deal is, in which case I'll probably listen to the album anyway.

2008-07-03 20:14:14 I didn't realize that was the new album, as I got that song awhile back on a compilation CD, but as of paying attention to it this week for the first time I'm thrilled with it. I like how some of of this band's stuff could slip onto may faux country mix, and some of it is this song.

2008-07-09 00:46:38 Having finally listened to the entire album, I long to own it in such form as I can listen to it in my car. That means I like it a great deal, and it inspired a new list at my last.fm profile (last.fm/user/atengwall) of albums I want to listen to in the car. As I only use CDs in the car (Barbarian! Luddite!), I'll have to decide whether to purchase CDs or to upgrade my technology. Anyone have helpful opinions about that question?
