I don't know if anyone else likes this band, but their last album, "Z" has been a favorite of mine for the last few years. (It came out in 2005 and I still listen to it quite often.) If you like them, here's a heads up about their SNL appearance and their new album drop (it's called "Evil Urges") in June.

Actually, I lost my "dongle" for my music player, so up until yesterday I couldn't get any music from my computer to my player. Thanks to Woot, though, I now have a new player and I am listening to all my new music as we speak.

What are some of your favorite songs of theirs?</div> I like "Lay Low", "Dondante" and "Off The Record". They have a lot of different styles, though, so different people would like different songs I guess. I'm a sucker for flashy, exciting, wailing guitar jams like in "Lay Low". Indie bands don't get more kick ass than that. I like their classic rock sounding stuff a lot.
This is on right now. I am looking forward to seeing what they play because I have been listening to Evil Urges non-stop for two weeks and I absolutely love it.
