I'd been rapidsharing Old Judgments to friends around the country, and now they can get them straight from the source! Thanks man. And oh, gimme the new songs!
How's the hits compilation going? Are you going to re-record the older tracks? It would be great to hear back from you, always curious about what you're up to.
earlier this week i was in a bit of a misanthropic mood, riding a train past the rocky coasts of scotland, and my ipod surprised me with 'oh jim'.
sure, his name's not 'jim' in this case, but i felt the same. the sunset over the coast through the train window became my favourite movie. 'oh jim' the perfect soundtrack.
to celebrate that, upon my return to canada, hard snow on the ground, i bought your back catalogue via paypal and some fellow who could only make copies at his parents' house.
i can't wait to hear it all.
(and you still owe me your 'greatest hits' collection).
