@jackiekennedy: ABX is basically the only DJ who makes mashups worth hearing these days, largely because he seems to realize that the goal should be to make the instrumental half into an actual beat for the vocal half, not to just pick a pop/indie song you like and throw a beatmatched rap verse over it. ABX is also responsible for "I'm a Flirt (Shoreline)," for which he actually changed the meter of the Broken Social Scene song so it would match the rhythm of R. and co's lyrics.

"Logical Volume" would have been my pick for favorite song. (The part where she namechecks Television, The Boss, and Orthrelm during the bridge is giving me chills just thinking about it.)But I've pretty listened to this album several times a week for most of the year. Live, she's way better with the full band; less of a sense of bareley controlled chaos (she doesn't miss words like in the ipod days) but a way better execution of things.

Here's a good interview with her: stylusmagazine.com/articles/hi/marnie-stern.htm

Sadly, when I saw her live, I thought she was dreadful. But half of the album (this and Vibrational Match and Put All Your Eggs In One Basket And Watch That Basket!! and, um, some others) are soooo good.
