I'm sorry that i missed what you wrote about Sparklehorse. I have really enjoyed their latest release, and the sonics are very good for a 12" slab of black plastic. Not perfect, mind you, nor audiophile (whatever that is) but very good. It's my favorite Sparklehorse thus far. I purchased while visiting my son in Southern CA, and it really opened up a nice dialog with the late 40's to 50-something owner of this cool little record store. What are your thoughts on Sparklehorse's latest, Davey?
