"Furthest" is also correct; as pointed out earlier, they are interchangeable, especially when used as an adjective, not as an adverb.  Personally, I prefer to use "farthest" or "farther" when referring to physical distance, but it's ultimately a stylistic choice.

So in other words, I'm right.

The words furthest and farthest are interchangeable. Farther and further are too, except in some phrases, often colloquialisms, where "further" is the only option*. I think if "farther" is right, then "further" can always be used there too.

Further can be a verb but we're not talking about that. It would not further our discussion.

Shouldn't it be 'farthest'?

Amy Macdonald is OK and all, but playing her right after Neko Case doesn't do her justice...

Oh, I was just thinking that I liked the inflections, as a change from most of what I've heard from her. And I particularly liked the staccato. :-) I'm not saying that just to be contrary... they really stood out to me as the things I most liked.

But you make a good point in general.... a lot of artists do way too much of that sort of thing.

I like it.  Not as much as some of the first songs of hers I heard but still pretty damn cool.

Second listen: 6->7  Maybe the (entry) audiophile-grade headphones helped. ;-)

Echoes of several people, need more listens and other tracks before the pendulum swings

sure... when the volume is cranked all the way up and you are listening on a cheap stereo with a lot of distortion
