dude. i’ve had Illinois on permanent rewind this entire past month. i don’t know why but i never got into the album when it first came out. i found it again and it hasn’t stopped playing since. it took marcia 2 weeks or so, to understand the guy’s brilliance. now i hear her humming the songs to herself. i’m just starting to get into Avalanche.
me too … we have 8 music lovers here in the office . so people are always showing off new stuff they find. I heard the album (ss – illinois) when it came out – then lost interest. Also really liking the Calexico – Garden Ruin album.
