I need to pick up his other albums and New Moon... but they're all so 'spensive here... The songs I've heard from New Moon are fucking heartbreaking.

I've just recently started listening to him. I love his music. My favorite songs are:

Say Yes
Happiness
Coast to Coast
Let's Get Lost
Speed Trials
Alameda
Son of Sam (the first song I heard of his which made me listen to more.)

Coast to Coast may be my favorite song of his, it needs more love.

Memory Lane hasn't been mentioned yet, what's up with that? I love that song.

"Everything Means Nothing To Me" has got to be my favorite.

Torn Curtain 11.08.2007 04:43 PM

I don't know his music well, but at least:

Ballad of big nothing
Between the bars
Waltz #2 (XO)
Independence day
Bled white
Waltz #1
Oh well, Okay
Bottle up and explode!
I didn't understand
Son of Sam

Dead-Air 11.08.2007 10:54 PM

Say Yes
St. Ide's Heaven
Rose Parade
The Biggest Lie
Clementine
Roman Candle

After that the rest of the pre major label records. I know I'm setting myself up for being called an indie snob all over again (and I'm not, I really don't care if people are big or small), but I just thought his stuff after Either/Or was boring comparatively. It wasn't awful, but after Either/Or it just seemed like he'd peaked to me.
