I just checked my email - I'm heading off to the airport soon so I won't be able to have a listen.
But I will definitely listen to it in the coming weeks - even though I'm not bringing my computer or cell phone to Italy I'll be frequenting internet cafes!! Sounds like a fun project - looking forward to working on it when I get back!!!!!!

Let's make music ecstasy my friend. I want people dancing in the grass and peeing in their pants. I want souls to explode and prophesies to be foretold. I want to have some weird girl whisper something monumental in my ear and pass me an note that says, "Always and Never". Together Matt, we can achieve this dream.

Well once again I must comment and say that "Gayla" is surely your best work ever. Touching, brilliant story telling, and a statment to what what one man can write off of a painting . I give this song goddamn ***** stars. Brilliant! You have quite the beast to live up to....

Cheers,
