Sweet! Thanks for playing Robe. The album is on phage tapes :)

That Tortoise and the Ex song is awesome, I'd never heard it before. That tuxedo moon album is amazing.. I love ralph records. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_Talking_Clock was my favorite thing so far.

I'm not energetic enough to get the playlist together and post it everywhere I do just yet (there was massive traffic after the show because their repaving all of the Portland freeways because of the snow damage, and then I played with my son for an hour and a half straight, playing all this dancey music and dancing with him, from the Ventures to the Cocteau Twins to Signal to Noise, that baby is amazing how cool he is...)

Anyway, my point being, I wanted to inform Adam and Eric (Savage Clone) that a guy called during both of their bands' tracks absolutely loving the music and wanting to know how to find it to buy it. I directed him to my playlist on kpsu.org to get links to your My Spaces. There really are some great musicians on this board making very original tunes! I love nothing more than doing my show and having someone actually ask, "What's this called?"

My heart is warmed!

Thank you so much.
