Which should I download from emusic? Last Call for Vitriol or In The Valley of Dying Stars?
Last Call for Vitriol.

Although either of the first two albums (Regretfully Yours or Head Trip in Every Key) are the better bet.
GGW is correct, the first two are the best, but I prefer Dying Stars over Vitriol
hmmm, one vote each - I wish the first two were on emusic….I'll try and track em down
Ballboy
Sodastream
Bishop Allen
David Dondero
Bedhead
Bags, thatdog. was a great band…I saw them open for Blur once. Great stuff!
the lassie foundation
Jonathan Fire*Eater. Although the Walkmen rose from the ashes, I still prefer "Wolf Songs For Lambs" over anything the Walkmen produced (although I still dig the Walkmen).
Yes.

and the "tremble under boom lights" EP is even better. those dreamworks folks made stewart's voice a bit too high on the album. just found a myspace page for the child ballads. hopefully they can get their shit together enough to get an album out. "white chocolate tea" is a really great song.
