a-m-v Loved this album in 2008-09, and it still holds up, 15 years later in 2023. What a hidden underground gem. No one makes fully-formed indie rock albums like this anymore. Kudos Baird, your work is much appreciated. Favorite song? Man, they're all gold! Favorite track: Life is Rad (Just Say Yes).
