Robyn
this album has been getting a lot of love in the pop nerdosphere this year. i listened to it a few months ago and thought it was really good, but then basically forgot about it in the cascade of shit with which i pathologically inundate myself. this past week though, oh my god. sasha's link to some of her videos spurred me to put it on again, and holy crap. i must have listened to it twenty times through since last monday. it is amazing, everything i want in an album and rarely find (it is currently battling it out with the mountain goats for my alb of the year).
as usual, jess is better at stating my opinions that i am, so just go read his old post, every word is the got-damned truth.

said: hmm... that thing you do with a series of words all linking to different pages really screws with me - i always end up clicking on one of the words, never noticing that the others are seaparte links.
i listened to several robyn tracks a few months ago when the buzz started, specifically be mine, konichiwa bitches, and who's that girl.
be mine was the only one that stuck with me. kon. bitches lost its novelty, and who's that girl was way too something for me to get into in the first place.
what other tracks should i check out?
said: robotboy and crash and burn girl for sure, bum like you is also real good and so is handle me. just get the album and let it play through, it's only like forty minutes long and the "album track"-y tracks are very pleasant. i thought who's that girl was a little "too something" as well, turns out my the knife suspicions were confirmed: according to sasha they produced it. i like it a lot now though.
how can you read the internet and be that retarded about links? sfj & jclover do that all the time, i don't think i'd even half understand what they're going on about without following their links. at least mine underline themselves seperately.
