PLAY THESE TRACKS: 2&5.
1. nice, mellow, modern rocky.
2. BEST TRACK II: farfasa start. beachy. got's the jangles.
3. gets electro poppy. dancy. lame, but likable.
4. electro, synthy. building, epicy. very echo.
5. BEST TRACK: starts with answering machine lady w/ brit accent. launches into riff that's a rip of gary numen's 'cars.'...it's fuckin' awesome!
