But can we talk about another album?

Namely, the one that gets a shout-out inJuno?

I think I may have squealed in the theater.

And I do not squeal.

See,If I Were A Carpenterbasically defines my senior year in high school.

I almost wrecked my car while Shonen Knifes Top of the World blared over the stereo system.

Remember them??)

I refused to listen to Sheryl Crows version of Solitaire because I thought it was boring.

But then, this was before I became a Sheryl Crow fan.

My classmates were blasting Ini Kamoze and Boyz II Men, and I was rocking out with Matthew Sweet.

And I alllllways see this album in used-CD bargain bins.

People, come on!

What is not to love?

Does anybody else remember it as fondly as me and Mark?
