I checked out their acclaimed "I Am A Bird Now" from my local public library recently. If I were blind and deaf this would definitely be among my picks for best album of 2005; its packaging smells great, like a freshly opened indie vinyl record from the mid-to-late 1980s ("Jacket Made In Canada" redux; it is on Secretly Canadian).

Can't say I dig the music though, Lou Reed endorsement or not (suspect anyway, considering his approval of Pearl Jam).
