		<description><![CDATA[Among the many aspects of ICP that I enjoy, their tendency to ramble off into a list of related items, one after another, seems worthy of mention. It's particularly pervasive in Bang! Pow! Boom! There are a few reasons I find these lists intriguing. It establishes an interesting sort of environment for the song to place in, populated by a familiar cast of genre-appropriate flora and fauna. A vocabulary is being established, a laundry list of familiars and haunts that dark carnival minions can add to their deck of tricks. It highlights the simple (nearing children's rhyme territory) structure and flow of the lyrics. As usual, I'm not sure if ICP knows what they're doing, but I hope it's all intentional.]]></description>

The best that I can do is to say that they sound like a mixture of Barenaked Ladies, and They Might Be Giants, with a little Jonathan Coulton thrown in there too. Which is to say, semi [...]]]></description>

The Decemberists have known for writing amazingly good songs, all of which usually tell a story of some sort. With the realease of The Craine Wife, we saw them move closer to a concept album.

Hopefully this&#8217;ll give me an excuse to post a little more regularly, instead of only when I decide that any particular track is worthy of &#8216;favorite&#8217; status.

		<description><![CDATA[This is one of my favorite Enya songs &#8211; as an artist, her music can be a little hit-or-miss for me. Sometimes it&#8217;s too ethereal for its own good, and loses its appeal in spaced-out vocals and &#8216;world music&#8217; instrumentation. Caribbean Blue doesn&#8217;t have this problem.
The beginning is a great way to introduce a concept [...]]]></description>
