...City." Sean O'Hagan's electronic wizardry also guest-stars in "52 Pilot," lending a signature High Llamasian boost to Cracknell's tingle-worthy vocals. The album is an uncontested gem, but with its lamentably few (six!) tracks, its value lies elsewhere than its size (the album's sex appeal is only good for a half-hour). Another exclusive track, "Garage for Gunther," is available only at the b-side on the vinyl. I can imagine already how I've heard it all my life...

But at the same time, we are doing just that: running from one section back to our dorm rooms or off to grab a "fly-by" lunch before our next class. Rarely do we even pause to peruse the updated kiosks or study posted flyers. If we pay such little attention to humorous brightly colored posters, why would we be any more responsive to the monotone...
