Dug up a few the other day Modest Mouse-Moon and Antartica...wow that's a great sprawling record.
The new Vanderslice is good.

which pedro did you get, i think he just put out a new one....not sure though
control is really good in a lazy sorta way
what do you think of the new vanderslice record
it's sort of a departure from his earlier work in many ways
he's exploring new vocal meters and melodies that i never would have guessed him to do.
i think the writing is brilliant, once again.
i talk to john on and off (probably once every three months or so). the thing that i always say to him (looking for a comment) is, "john, you tell your stories so well, i can never figure out if it's a story, or if it really happened to you"
to date, he has only said, "hahahahahaha, j.hall you rule"
i don't think he'll ever give me a straight answer. although, i have gotten confirmation about a few tunes in particular that are true to his life.
anyway, i'm rambling.
suggested song to give you goosebumps:
peter gabriel, the flood
