Definitely able.

Yes those songs.

The Byrds
a: "All I Really Want to Do"

Evidently inspired Cher's rendition of this Dylan song.

Pretty Girls Make Graves
a: "All Medicated Geniuses"

Yes that song.

Los Campesinos!

I really <3 Los Campesinos! and this disc is no exception. I knew from the first time I heard them "We Throw Parties" I think, but what sealed the deal was their cover of Pavement's "Frontwards".

a: "Almost Not/I Hate My Friends"

So awesome. I loved seeing them live.
