This Is No Great Illusion

I usually don't do much in the way of music promotion other than cycling new albums through the sidebar, letting you go the trouble of keeping up with what's currently on the stereo. But I feel compelled to share this one with you on a larger scale.

First of all, if just looking at the cover doesn't make you want to buy this album, or at least give it a look, then you should check to make sure your heart hasn't been replaced by an unfeeling lump of ash.

But it is a good album. Really. I highly recommend it. The guy at Amoeba, when I bought it, kindly joked and asked me if I'd like to buy Cat Power's "The Greatest" while I'm at it. I didn't know I was that predictable, but then the guy said that everyone that's bought one has bought the other, or anyway that's what it seems like to him. So I guess I am that predictable. Below is a link to the ironically (because that's the only way hipsters do things, man) retro video. And, if I may add, Jenny Lewis is 18 kinds of cute. Okay. Enjoy.
