Thanks for catching that. I have no idea how I typed that wrong in the first place, let alone let it sit there unnoticed for weeks. Huh. Thanks for catching that.

Good MGs post though. I'm in the midst of making a mix of favorites. FYI Full Force Galesburg is from 1997, not 2007. Good MGs post though. I'm in the midst of making a mix of favorites.

Overall it's surprisingly down-to-earth and raw, and although my emotional exhaustion at the time left me wide open for that sort of thing I am pretty sure I would have liked it anyway. (I don't really know how it's "different", because I only know two other Bright Eyes songs.)

I haven't heard the album in question, though: What's different about it? I'm still not entirely convinced Bright Eyes isn't emo nonsense.

Thank you for listening. It turns out that posting the soundtrack publicly has made writing about this year harder, not easier, but I aim to get it done anyway. You're welcome.
