You and the guys put on a fantastic show at the Firebird last friday. Kudos for super creative music! You definitely pull of the "ambient" intentions. And "Sea Fence" gives me uncontrollable erections.

Kid Shit just came up on shuffle, and apparently I'd never listened on headphones before - that part about forty-five seconds in where things start to jump back and forth just got even better!

i was a little more than impressed with yo' beat boxing skillz. keep rockin'. & yeah... i've been looking for an older song of yours i think it was on pure volume once upon a time... any way i can't find the lyrics or song and i don't want it to slip out of my mind so if  you get a chance i think you need to hire someone to put your lyrics up! :) it's great to see you in the god damn band. you guys play so well.
