This is what the start of 2009 sounded like for me. As always, one-on-one CD trades are welcome if you’d like to tell me what the month sounded like for you.
I liked Ulysses a lot, too. The new album has two remixes that aren’t bad, either.
I had a credit with Amazon and also downloaded “What She Came For,” which I like.
