You've got to get through "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart", though. Tweedy put that as the first track to scare off the weak-of-heart. There are MUCH more accessible tracks beyond that one. "Kamera" and "Jesus, Etc." are two of my favorite songs of all time.

This album was fantastic. Kamera, Heavy Metal Drummer and I'm The Man Who Loves You were particularly good.
Next up: Belle & Sebastian
The Boy With The Arab Strap
---------------------
This album was decent, however, I found myself not listening to it really. The soft vocal kind of makes me stray from the sound, and I think I may need another listen to fully appreciate what is going on. I like the ambiance, but it was kind of to the point where I didn't really notice that I was listening to anything, so maybe I do need another listen to find the direction in the music.
Next: Blur
Parklife
----------------------
This album started well enough, pretty peppy and I enjoyed it alot, especially after a change from Belle & Sebastian. But the end of the album kind of lost me, since it got set into a more downtrodden tempo, and didn't really have the ability to grab me like the beginning of the album did. I think I'll put it on shuffle for awhile, because I'm trying to get some work done so hopefully more soon.
