On a quick note, Firefox is really getting annoying. Too bad Blogspot doesn't support Safari fully.
Luckily, I found these guys through iTunes a few months back. The best I can describe them is that they're a little bit of Wilco's Being There added to some Yo La Tengo. Think late 90's Mojave 3. Their brand of folk/pop is beautiful at times and fun at others. Melodically, it's often like listening to a somber rainy day, offering a sense of subtle longing that Wilco has mastered. These Aussies have been around since '97, so they've got quite a few albums under their belt. In fact they even recorded a set with BBC DJ John Peel. Give these guys a listen.

Odds and Ends
The iTunes release of Sufjan Stevens' latest, Illinois, has two extra tracks: "The Avalanche" and a remix of "Chicago." Both are wonderful. Also, Illinois is number 8 on iTunes' top album list.
