Rebekah Higgs -- Sha La La

  A dream pop drenched EP with a moody doo wop backdrop ... Julee Cruise's Twin Peaks sadness mixed with M. Ward's indie sweetness!

The Beach Boys -- 20/20

   In a complete state of melancholy, a kind of loneliness laced with a sence of belonging, I was wracking my brain for a suitable sound for my mellow misery ... the Beach Boys's album 20/20, a mostly soft and minimal record, complimented exactly how I was feeling ... man, Brian Wilson knows exactly how to touch our most basic emotions.
