For some reason, despite the urging of many of my friends, I've never really checked out this band.  I saw part of their set at Lolla but I was coming off the high of having just seen Explosions in the Sky and I didn't feel like seeing anyone else right then.

I didn't think it was out until 9/9.

[bearass]

The Stage Names would be my vote.

[mjkoehler]

Stage Names then Black Sheep Boy.

They are all good, but those are their 2 best.

I haven't really listened to The Stand-Ins much yet. Or Rooks for that matter.

Lost Coastlines is a great song though, I have heard that one!

At first I thought Will was singing Jonathan's part. Tee hee, I was like "Whoa, Will, fannnnncy."
