(A) Hearts of Oak (Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, 2002)-

Inventive and classic. Got to hear more of this guy.

(A) Blueberry Boat (The Fiery Furnaces, 2004)

Dazzling, complex, elegant--- well, just ask Teddy. I'll need a few more listens, but I'm pretty sure it's the textbook definition of a masterpiece.
