"All in all, Aaron Koppel and company...have produced a lovely, lively collection marked by intelligent writing, emotional depth, and sterling musicianship.” – Neil Tesser
You know, cheese nips are bad for the pigment in your skin. How do I know? I just made it up - that's how. So make sure to tell all your friends and donate your cheese nips to Palin.
I'm serious, too. Everytime I pick up this bass, I see it as more than a bass. Everytime I listen to you guys, I see you as more than just rock. You were not meant for radio. All of you are true ARTISTS. I've never heard a more solidified drummer. I've never heard more synched guitarists. I've never heard a bassist that fits RIGHT in with guitars that work together like that. And just the WORDS you choose are among some of the most uncommonly chosen, coupled with a voice that surpasses every other band that I favor.
PLEASE...WHEN [not if] you guys are able to make it out here, please let me know. Hell, I might find out just because of the band's page. I visit it to hear "Toys" almsot every other day because I have "Company Car".
=D
Anyway, I'm done rambling and I'm in the middle of a bulletin that just spurred up within me. Take care, Mr. Mahmud.
