overlooked in 2008

this is just an excuse to talk about born ruffians. i'm not gonna make a list or anything. but feel free to post your own..

this album was referred to me a long time ago by i can't remember who, but i only listened to it within the past month or so. and holy shit. i can't stop.

i can't believe how under-appreciated this is on the internet. it has a metacritic rating of 69, which is ridiculous.

probably the best music blog on the internets, saidthegramophone, named it their #1 album. they have an mp3 up here born ruffians - foxes mate for life

seriously guys.

Yeah, great album. Saw them open for Caribou last year and then again playing with Plants and Animals earlier this year. Red, Yellow, and Blue is a really fantastic opening track as well.

I'm friends with hipie on facebook. If you dudes are on there and ignoring me I'd be mighty peeved.

One of my friends called her ex 'the born ruffian' on her blog. I thought it made an excellent alias.
