I haven't commented on Travelogue much, but I had to chime in with I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Joni's voice on Slouching. It is currently my favorite piece to listen too. Especially at the end - it is electric - full of power - a power that I would have liked to hear more of. So funny.
I get such a kick out of the fact that Travelogue is generating such passionate, diverse, and often diametrically opposed opinions on the list. It may not be as perfect or sublime as many of us would have liked, but it sure packs a punch.
