Comment: Josh Rouse was almost the Conor Oberst of the 1990s but he couldn't quite sustain. However, he remains a talented fellow as does M. Ward. I said Lana sucks live, I didn't say Lana sucks on record. On record she is pretty good. #4 and # 8 are part of remix EPs and pretty good ones. Suede are back but you already knew that. And Alice Smith is a revelation.
