I really wanna hear show your bones. I keep putting it off, procrastinating. The only track i have is gold lion, and i love it.
Love Rather Ripped. And Yeah Yeah Yeahs. And The Strokes. And getting into Cat Power (slowly but her voice is so captivating).
But, not enough love for Guster, I only saw their album on three top 10 lists (mine included).

Yep, what he said. :)
