So age=musical knowledge?

Maybe your crustaceous brain needs a reminder on just what chamber pop truly is:

Drawing heavily from the lush, orchestrated work of performers including Brian Wilson, Burt Bacharach, and Lee Hazlewood, Chamber Pop arose largely as a reaction to the lo-fi aesthetic dominant throughout much of the 1990s alternative music community. Inspired in part by the lounge-music revival but with a complete absence of irony or kitsch, chamber pop placed a renewed emphasis on melody and production, as artists layered their baroque, ornate songs with richly textured orchestral strings and horns, all the while virtually denying the very existence of grunge, electronica, and other concurrent musical movements.

That being said, everything I've heard by Lambchop I'd consider chamber pop, except Decline of Country & Western Civilization. Unfortunately, I don't really have any links to them.

Also, loosen up please. I'm just messing around. Why does everything have to be done in an intelligent manner on a music forum? That's what school/work is for (and the reason why they are no fun).
