I think the Frightened Rabbit record is real cool. Sort of Archers of Loaf-y sometimes, other times it's like Scottish Bright Eyes, in a good way. Yes, there's a good way. It's anthemic and wistful and smart and sad. Like all the best things are.
FYI, actual rabbits are bogus to the max.

"bogus to the max" just game me olc!!
Is that some kind of LA talk? Because I don't know what "game me olc!!" means.
I'm diggin' it. Power to the Scots!
Bunnies are not bogus! I has several bunnies as pets when I was growing up. In fact, they looked just like the Dutch rabbit in the picture (yes, I gravitate toward black and white animals - I think it stems from my early affection for Mickey Mouse.) I took home a couple of bunnies over Easter break when I was in 1st grade and in a month we had like 10 rabbits. The number dwindled over time due to the mother's odd taste for small rabbits. Luckily, my favorite, Templeton, grew up to be a very happy bunny. To avoid any conflict with our cat Cabbage, we drove to a no-kill animal shelter in Libertyville and left the bunny family with a nice old women. The End.
Out loud chucks.
Thank you, Eva. As only some of you know, it is one of my life dreams to have a bunny -- the kind that lives like a cat, sorta free, litterbox-trained, who will cuddle on my lap. This is a dream deferred for the next long while, as we share our house with a large, hyper canine, but don't think for a minute I've given it up. (Especially you, Mark!)
My brother and his kids had a little Bunny named Lilly until they made an important discovery and renamed it Rusty The Red Rocket. They kept the poor thing in a pen outside the house. There is a MAJOR problem with pet bunnies in that most kids lose interest in the first six months and then they end up neglected, abandoned, or worse. I believe Rusty, like Templeton, ended up at the farm as well! So think twice...
