I’m slowly emerging from my bomb-shelter and realize that Neko Case was a bittersweet alt-country phase (to be. revisited again in a few months, bundled with another personal favorite, “Star Witness”). New Young Pony Club? Had to download a couple of songs before I left for Singapore. I missed the concert. Good for those night runs.

The two dirty bands? Dessert for all those Dim Sum runs.

The Lonely Island shall always remain a novelty. Something you’d play over and over again to please people in the car. Just for the shock value.
