"Mahgeetah" by My Morning Jacket

No matter where I am, when I hear those opening invitations by beckoning Jim James, I am transported back to Fall 2003. A new transplant transplanted into Los Angeles. Still trying to force my roost to take hold. The album It Still Moves will always be the first amazing record released I bought as an infant Angeleno.
