I feel pretty comfortable saying "I don't like folk music" even though I like listening to Simon and Garfunkel and Bob Dylan every once in a while. I even enjoy some of Jay's Americana-folk songs.

Thanks!
First impression: nice to have another Jay record; a bit underwhelming. I think I was expecting it to be a bit more honky tonky, and a bit more oldy country.

Ben Gibbard, Peter Buck, and Colin Meloy, with the rest of the Decemberists playing as the backup band, cover REM's "You Are the Everything." Nice!

Thanks! I know it's too late, but I've found a2012 song, Night Garden by Nick Ferrio and His Feelings. There's a link to it in the top right hand corner of his web page, http://www.nickferrio.com/ Also, there's an excellent review of his stuff from No Depression: http://www.nodepression.com/profiles...

Verdict: Mitt's not fit. Hard to criticize his economics because they seem to be a joke... trickle down, private-sector-solves-everything, tax-cuts-for-millionaires solutions can't be serious, and seem to be just for show. So who knows what he would really do other than smile for the camera. IMO, Ob...
