I am so sad to hear that you guys have broken up. I am looking forward to the day that you decide to get back together. Your songs have been on almost all of my mixes for the last 2 years.
Unbelievably satisfying show on New Year's Eve - thanks so much! Also, great surprise with Erika; she invigorated the set (and I didn't have to help you on Mind Blindness). Nice chatting with you George, all best, j.
I'm not taking the news of your breakup very well. And the fact that I missed your final show on New Year's with A Place To Bury Strangers has me even more upset. Is there any way you can re-group before I eat every pint of Haagen Daz at the corner store? i'm very VERY depressed that you guys broke up. I was hoping for a new album too.
The news of your breakup really kills me. I hope that you guys realize just how much you meant to those of us that were lucky enough to discover you! I cannot start to tell you the places that your songs have taken me. Bummed
