I've had it in rotation since whever DC claims to have discovered it and every single fucking time it comes up on the iPhone I have to pick the damn thing up and see who that great track is by! You'd think by now I'd have figured out what they sound like, wouldn't you? I love and yet I can't seem to listen to it all the way thru. It's wonderful on a playlist tho. And yeah I have no fucking clue what any of it is about. xoxo Well I’m glad you posted it here c&b!

I loved DivCom [journo shorthand] for a long time but didn't exactly jump at this one when I heard about it. I am off to investigate now, however. Thanks to C&B for the push. Likewise, Matthew.

DaveyH has exposed me to tons of great stuff over the years. I wish I’d included a hyperlink thingy to the Ghost of Electricity. DaveyH has exposed me to tons of great stuff over the years.

That'd be grand. And as fortune would have it, the Rural Alberta Advantage and the Lovely Feathers are playing at the Rock and Roll Hotel in DC on Sunday, October 4, while the Twilight Sad and We Were Promised Jetpacks are at the Black Cat on Monday, October 5. Just so's you know is all. Oh brilliant. That’d be grand.

A bit like the album, really. By the by, I'm in D.C. proper from 2nd - 7th October (celebrating my Birthday at some point), minus Derek but with the tower of confusion & disregard Ed. Are you available for a jaunt to the Govt. quarter, per chance?

You say "England/Australia Ashes test" and I hear that muted trumpet sound that Charlie Brown heard whenever an adult was speaking. But yes, I also get the sense that this was never intended to be anything more than a one-off. See, that’s what I mean about knowing nothing about cricket.
