very well said. and i’m with you, there’s no way i could pick one song as my favorite. although “that man jumped out the window” or “transistor radio” would be really, really close. oh, and “moving to canada.” and “happy hippo” and . . . you get the picture!
I found your site looking for Think Coffee (although I like music too, so…this is cool) and thought the same thing: hoorah, good music! And hoorah, yummy brownie. I think I was more into the brownie. Well. I was hungry.
I haven’t really gotten into Cloud Cult, but maybe I need to listen to some more stuff? (takes mp3s)
You went to see Magnet?! ARHHAR! Damn, I want to know how that went. I tried to go…yup.
