I find it strange that I really enjoy this music. It is generally something I wouldn't listen to. I am 34 and my musical tastes over the years have leaned more towards industrial/alternative music. My mainstays were always NIN, Ministry, Revolting Cocks (the old stuff), Thrill Kill Kult, Tool, even Marilyn Manson at one time (uhh yeah). It was when I drove from Orlando to Duluth,Georgia in the summer of 2008 to see NIN that I was exposed to Bradford Cox with Deerhunter when they opened. I was very impressed by their "sound" for lack of a better word. I quickly purchased their cd's and the Atlas Sound releases. I was hooked. I then saw Deerhunter in Orlando earlier this year. The average age of the other people there were at least 10 years younger than me but I didnt care. This album is just a really great piece to just lay down on the couch and just relax (as another reviewer previously mentioned)and listen. I wont go into detail with the tracks. Every track has something to offer. I guess as I am getting older my tastes have changed. I am glad they have. I guess this genre is called shoegaze? I dont know. I call it good. I have discovered other bands in this genre I like as well such as Animal Collective, Panda Bear. If anyone else out there can mention any other bands in this field please tell me! I would appreciate it.

This is our first little people toy for my son and I was not expecting much as he's still too young for pretend play. I was pleasantly surprised. This is the best toy we've ever paid money for in our house! It is the only one where he will lay on the floor and play by himself, keeping himself amused for at least 10 to 30 minutes at a time (previously unheard of for us). My son doesn't like electronic toys with lots of noises so we don't even use the sounds. He loves to open and close doors and the openings are all a good size for him to fit the animals through. The silo that opens and closes is great fun for him, as is the chicken in the hayloft. As he grows into more ways to play with this toy, I can see it being a great investment for quite a while. I have since bought other little people toys but none have come close to this one. I highly recommend it.
