> Bully's a great record. A lot of the songs have a definite Jelly-vibe, but I wouldn't put it next to either JF album. The production alone, though truly well done is more dance? oriented and the songs aren't the same class of writing as Sturmer/Manning- lyrics specifically. Not sure I'll be listening to it for the next 40 years. "Bully" is such a good song, but then songs like "Motormouth" I just skip...there's no room for rap in my pop.

> Stickman's "Checkout Girl" is from their first album in 1997 as well as the 1999 IPO comp. There's nothing in the song to indicate it's about a record store clerk; seems to be about a supermarket checkout girl. I've always had a fondness for these types of songs. Great power pop from Iowa.
