Naw, we need those 6.5 songs for decent filler-in-between tracks!

Picking up Modest Mouse guitar type rifts.  Dunno who came first, but I definately love the driving sound.

Not everyone rates songs. I've been a Radio Paradise listener for a few years now and only started rating a couple of weeks ago. 

P.S. It will probably be no surprise to you that I love this song :)
