commit this to memory (motion city soundtrack, 2005)
i think i've seen MCS maybe 10 times in my life. i loved them when i was a tween and i love them even more as an adult. they're completely to blame for my affinity for hyper pop and break beat drums.
favorite tracks:
LG FUAD
time turned fragile
hangman
