Hello from Germany. ;-)

This is my favorite of the "Achtung Baby" covers. http://stereogum.com/836982/jack-white-covers-u2s-love-is-blindness/mp3s/

How was James Blake? I've been listening to that Naked and Famous album a lot lately. That was a good pick by Egan.

I decided St. Vincent was worth 4 of my hard-earned dollars after all. What did you think about Portugal. The Man? Should I take it as a bad sign that you didn't make it all the way through the whole album?

Have you heard this? http://stereogum.com/788651/bon-iver-x-james-blake-fall-creek-boys-choir/mp3s/ Really cool. Actually got me to listen to James Blake, someone I probably would not have listened to otherwise. And I kind of liked him, too! Is this dubstep stuff what the kids are listening to these days?

hahah, macho toilets. wait, what are you making anagrams of? your name doesn't have a "C" in it

Whoo 50,000 scrobbles

glad to see you're getting pumped early too

hmmm, maybe I will

Ahoy Mike, I hope all is well with you... apparently our musical compatibility has gone up since our last "shout" trade - how's life?

Hey Mike, I just clicked on your page and it appears you've listened to Radiohead exactly 1000 times with last.fm taking note of it. Pretty cool! Hope all is well with you.

yes, it has been a LONNNG time since I've been on last.fm. I'm glad you reminded me so hopefully I'll get back in the habit. I smell another ski trip sometime soon. When do you become unavailable?

Hey Mike! Life's been good, grad school is hard but oh well; I got a Hot Rod Deluxe based on my memories of playing yours, I love it. Hooray for tube amps. How's everything with you? Good to hear from you. Nice name, by the way. Also, as for low compatibility, reckon I'll have to start listening to more Beatles and Radiohead.

Heh, yeah. Sorry. ;p

Haha. My screen name everywhere else on the internets is federal duck, or some variant. Dave Barry ftw.
