Nah, it's just you, you're the only person on earth that
likes them.

Although I've heard from reliable sources (my ears) that
Millions Now Living Will Never Die and TNT are wicked
albums.

How much of a wicked song is "Along the Banks of rivers"?
Gotta get TNT sometime... Standards, Millions Now living,
TNT, what's the other album called?

I've heard alot of Tortoise and actually seen them live.
They truly are wicked.. they're artsy semi-electronic
post-rock, like Sonic Youth mixed with Aphex mixed with,
umm.. Stereolab?? Ugh that's a horrible comparison, forget
I just said that. They're great though, John McEntire is
awesome. Me and my cousin actually got to meet him. Check
out Standards for sure.

I'm a big fan of Tortoise. TNT and Standards are both really
well done albums.

Enerhia: Jetty is a good song indeed.

Tortoise are GREAT; my favourite band. Standards truly is
one of the most perfect albums ever. TNT is great aswell,
and Djed is genius!
