No argument about the song, which I also love, but
"Matador At 15" came out last year.
I've spent most of my first quarter catching up with
2004 releases, but among my new favorites are the
Soundtrack of Our Lives' "Origin Vol. 1" (don't miss
their live show), the Wedding Present's "Take
Fountain," and Idlewild's "Warnings/Promises."
