    Such a great EP.

        holy smokes! thanks for this! Between him and Jurado, I think those are the two artists I've followed for the longest -- basically from their start. This is so great!

            The funny thing about Bazan is that he has such a distinct style -- and a lot of his stuff can sound similar, but since I love that style, it's all gold. I really hope he brings back the monthly system.
