Paula, I have to warn you that "Maps" is nothing like the other songs on the YYY album. If you buy it hoping to hear a whole album full of songs like Maps, you're out of luck. The rest of the songs are louder and more garage-y (like your initial unheard impression of the group). They're not awful, but it's like they're from a different group.
OTOH, the album is pretty cheap (and short) - I think I got it for around $7, and who knows, you might like the whole thing. But I definitely thought Maps was the highlight.

Hey, Flasshe: Duly noted. I happen to love the garage thang, so I suspect I will not be disappointed.

You New York know-it-all... tellin' me it wasn't them. And there I went believin' you, but did think it was awful coincidental, since it turns out they actually do clearly say "sway" at one point. At least you're not as bad as the Palm Beach Post, though, since the other day the date on their front page was Thursday, April 29, but on the sports page it was Thursday, April 28. (Proof positive that sometimes the media is indeed much too liberal.)

Crotchety B:

Ack, I meant to credit you with being the first to suggest "Maps"--which is why I downloaded it from iTunes in the first place.

Being an old crotch (or whatever crotchety people are), I profess to have no idea what iTunes is.
