Two thumbs up from this direction as well, although between Dogs Die
In Hot Cars and another new favorite of mine, Say Hi To Your Mom
(whose second album DISCOSADNESS is perhaps the first glimmer of
nostalgia for mid-'90s bedroom DIY indie pop), 2004 can officially go
down as The Year We Ran Out Of Band Names.

material entirely? No reason for Bobby to be embarrassed of songs
like "It Happens" and "Velocity Girl."
