I should also give a shout out to sounds_sound for introducing me to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. -How do you properly thank someone for such a great gift?

You're welcome buddy. Yeah, I remember not the first time I heard that record, but the first time I realized it was really good. It was Christmas day, I was in my brother's apartment in Ypsi - in the kitchen. After track 1 and 2 played and 3 comes in with that murky beat, then Jeff comes in over that lovely melody 'oh distance has a way of making love understandable'. That's when I realized how good it was. It was so exciting because I knew, literally right then, that I was going to be on this little adventure of discovery with the rest of the album.

I remember listening to it on the way up to Charlevoix with you, a certain red head and Miss C.M Guitar. I could go for some Big Pimpin' and some Charlevoix's right about now.

That moment you mention on the album is definitely well placed, it's like a door opening. So many great moments on that album.

CM Guitar? How do you know about the M?

I think you used to refer to her as such. Otherwise, I have no idea how I know. Maybe I just assume that everyone has our middle initial?
