This is one of the albums that, two years after it came out, got me into the 'Indie scene'. I remember loving it when it came up in Garden State (damn does Zach Braff have good taste in music.)

I can't believe this album is 12 years old. I can' believe the amount of progress there has been in this style of music, and yet this is still timeless. I can't believe the amount of this that have happened to me musically because of and since this album.

Yeah, it's a big one for me too. sounds_sound introduced me to it when it first came out. It houses one of my favorite lyrics ever:

  But when they're parking their cars on your chest
  You've still got a view of the summer sky
  To make it hurt twice when your restless body
  Caves to its whims
  And suddenly struggles to take flight...
