my paws often find themselves in a state of impregnation too....I noticed you like Daniel Johnston so I thought I'd point you in the direction of a UK acoustic group called Quarter-Pounder. If you think Daniel has had it hard, listen to this. Quarter-Pounder have battled homelessness, insanity, amputations, divorces, crippling obesity, prison and countless odd, horrible day jobs and while this is reflected in their songs, they're still very easy on the ear. Maybe you know of them already? One of their fans has set up a web site where you can download a bunch of their songs for free at www.quarter-pounder.co.uk.... they're also on myspace..and I even heard Will Oldham is keen on them...Check it out...
