I think that Desaparecidos: Read Music / Speak Spanish is really articulate about what happens with a lot of people in the American middle class. I wonder sometimes how well known albums get that way. In my mind a good CD will just work its way to the top based on its merit. But then I realize that in the real world things like placement and money matter.

So I’m doing my part. If you haven’t listened to this you should. It’s a side project from Conor Oberst. (Bright Eyes) It came out in 2002.
