Exploding HEarts pretty easily over KOL. The other 3 aren't that bad either, really.

Aha Shake beats Gillian Welch.

Throughout his life, from childhood until death, he was beset by severe swings of mood. His depressions frequently encouraged, and were exacerbated by, his various vices. His character mixed a superficial Enlightenment sensibility for reason and taste with a genuine and somewhat Romantic love of the sublime and a propensity for occasionally puerile whimsy.

I like to imagine that they're a single person, but with multiple personality disorder. Kind of like Roseanne but a little more unstable.

Damn. I probably should just go ahead and vote Gillian but I think I'll wait and play spoiler.

Regardless, Gillian Welch is easily the best thing to come out of that "O Brother Where Art Thou" phenomenon with regards to her getting some much deserved attention.

I was just playing that "I Wanna Sing That Rock & Roll" song from this album 2 nights ago for the dogs on acoustic. So effing good.

KOL for me.

Never got around to hearing that Sleater-Kinney. I should remedy that perhaps.
