Anyone Else?

It took Mixdorf all of three days after receiving the disk to make comments. Anyone else about ready?

Just a couple extra notes on the collection:
- These are all songs that made an immediate impression on me. Ones that I "had to have" after a single listen. Not all that common of an occurrence for me, but something that can happen. With simpler melodies, simpler arrangements, it's certainly more common.
- I think I may have, in my comments to Mixdorf's post, given the impression that I thought the Pale Boy singer sounded unprofessional. I would like to retract that. I think she's a little offbeat a little folksy mixed with choral, but I think we all get "pop" really drilled into our heads and it's easy to forget that popular music utilizes a way of singing (softening consanants, changing timbre according to volume & pitch, slurring words & generally not annunciating particularly clearly, etc.) that is by no means reflective of all other styles. Jeana Dodge is not a pop singer, but I think she has a lovely voice.
