It's amazing how quickly this band disappeared amid their initial hype. I think their album will still be considered one of 2008's best, but I question whether that means very much anymore. - blackmailismylife
well their show was mobbed last night. their fans are still into them - Fred Wilson
They still make fantastic music. I hope they make it to a sophomore album, love to see what happens. They've got a very distinct sound, which is more than I can say for most of the indie rock world... - felix

"Well for people who use feed readers, maybe its not that useful

to see

"Not yet. Haven't studied it enough to be intelligent. However, oil and gas has been more expensive in the EU for a long time so while the impacts will be felt, it may not be as much of a shock to these countries" - Fred Wilson
"That is true
But what is also interesting is that this blog and many other places are
pseudo ³power lunch tables² where indians and americans and many other
nationalities can come together to share ideas and build a global economy
