I have to admit that these past couple of weeks I’ve been so in my iB4the1 zone that I’ve hardly had the time or energy to sit down and listen to any new music.  Actually, I’ve been so nervous I just listen to Regina Spektor all night until I cry myself to sleep.  But nothing can snap me out of my driven-emo trance (or is it emo-driven?) than a new record from the almighty legend Denizen Kane! I just copped mine and have listened to it twice straight through.
