All I can say about TEN is that they are fantastic; one of the best indie bands I've heard so far.  Their EPs are more impressive than their full-lengths, which are both still incredible.

Collection: Death Cab for Cutie

Death Cab's one of many bands I'd always heard about, but hadn't heard any of their music for a while  I bought a used iPod on eBay a few years ago, and the previous owner had forgotten to delete their music; a handful of DCFC songs were on it, so I gave them a listen.  I only liked a few of them at first, but they've grown on me since.

Collection: Barcelona

I'd first heard of Barcelona at a Relient K show in Des Moines; they, along with..... some other band (Copeland? My friends and I got to the show late, and missed the first band) were the openers on RK's Three-Hour Tour.


The List: #211
ALBUM: Absolutes
FORMAT: CD

I picked up Absolutes when a nearby FYE was closing up.  I haven't listened to it much, but when I did, I really enjoyed it.
