Generational, too. But conceptually and stylistically they're so different. I like records that don't sound terribly fussed over, but with a certitude about how they should sound. Minutement to a TEE. Daniel, I think those were regional comparisons more than anything else w/r/t Husker Du. Generational, too. But conceptually and stylistically they’re so different.

I’m a sarcastic-type. D. Boon is my co-pilot. 'Oh here we are, in French Indochina!'" I never understood the love for this record. I never understood how it could be mentioned in the same breath with, for instance, Husker Du's Zen Arcade (or even Warehouse: Songs and Stories, which frankly I love far more than Zen Arcade). “Minutemen, Double Nickels On The Dime – I’m probably not telling you anything you don’t already know here.

"Horace Wimp" is my absolute favorite ELO tune (I'm a sucker for just about anything that falls under the "coming of age" umbrella) and I've always wanted to be a riot grrrl when I grow up. Welcome Sean! Oh and I'm really happy to hear Selects will still be alive and kickin' - it's been the absolutely coolest thing eMusic has ever done. Seriously.

Nice Job. Out of the Blue was the first thing I downloaded from the Sony drop, knowing I should know more about ELO than I did - and oh my it's freaking AWESOME. Over the top, over produced, over done, freaking crazy awesome. Welcome to the team...
