I want my child to be a long-haired child

So I bought Devendra Banhart's Cripple Crow like three weeks ago, and I don't have tons to say, except I enjoy it immensely. It's "accessible," i.e. less warbly vocals; "freak-folk," i.e. sitars and shit; etc. My one x-is-like-y snobbery is for "Heard Somebody Say," which is like Sufjan Stevens on acid, at an ANSWER rally. Also, I heard somebody say (ha!) that "Long Haired Child" and "I Love That Man" were "totally Velvet Underground," which is totally bullshit. I don't even know what that means. I'm fixin' to go to Amoeba, though, so maybe buying more CDs will inspire more commentary.
Morbidly: This girl at USC had a baby and left it in a Dumpster. I know several people who checked out the girl's facebook profile as soon as the story broke. What kind of world are we living in? I know, it was my first instinct, too.
