Comment:

Side 1: Some days alternative - long lost - much revered - absolutely unknown - legendary - obscure songs just hold no appeal. Some days I just want to curl up in bed with a good book and let pretty, well crafted pop drift through open mind. On days like that I turn to songs like these. I especially love Pink and Noseworthy's peppy ditty and Stan Rogers' (tragically deceased Canadian folk singer) much loved ballad.

Side 2: Yes I am a girl. Yes I am white. Yes I live in Westwood and not in compton like my cross town rivals. That being said there is nothing wrong with opening up my speakers and blasting a little indie Hip Hop through the walls of my tiny apartment... I have a feeling my neighbours seriously dislike this impulse of mine.

I like Aceyalone and you've got two tracks here, which is fine by me. And there's always a place for pretty, well-crafted pop. Nice mix.
