Gotta go with Two Points, I think. Doesn't get old. Something Burning is also up there.

I waffle back and forth between four or five of them as my favorite. I can never seem to decide. Sincerely is definitely not getting enough love 'round these parts.

Comfort is a good song, but it's notnotnot her best. I don't understand why it's always the most listened to every week. What about Two Points, Ithaka, Whetstones, Vincent, Sincerely? All better than Comfort.

Hummingfish has a lot of full length previews of their songs up on their last.fm page. An extra little lovely treasure trove of Deb. :)

Does anybody else who's seen Deb or The Weepies live think she/they would be cool to just hang out with for an evening? I overwhelmingly got that sense when I saw The Weepies in a small club.
