Jeff,

I agree with Stewart.  I like the album _and_ just as soon as you come
onboard we're gonna do a gotcha. 

On the other hand - I do recall that you listed what I think is one of
the finest sleeper albums of the year on YOUR top twenty  list. Hardly
anyone has mentioned Sleep Station's "After the War" and I just adore
that album. Not since I heard the first couple tracks from the Scud
Mountain Boy's "Massachusetts" have I enjoyed an album that so clearly
draws inspiration from early 70's AM crossing to FM radio without
sounding as though it was _trying_ to do that (and only that). Fans of
Bread, Dear 23-era Posies (esp that Stringfellow), etc. would probably
eat these goodies up.  Sleep Station.  MmmmmmZZZZZZZZzzzzz.

It still baffles me to see Franz Ferdinand in the top 10 among mostly
"pure pop" stuff like Eugenene Edwards, Cliff Hillis, Candy Butchers,
Smile, etc...

I guess you gotta believe the hype!
