        You the MAN, Bryan! SO ridiculously excited!!! :D ♥
        I still wish I could say... what crazy label WOULDN'T want to release a monstrously creative 70 minute conceptual masterpiece?!?! UGH. So lame, haha... Reality really bites... :V Pshhh, whatever, you GOT this! ...Also, tours are awesome. JUST saying. I am fully prepared for plane ticket buying. ...As you may have noticed, the fan love for you is quite intense. I know it must be difficult, but deal with it. ;D

        I would rather it be done proper than half-assed. Take your time. Given the amount of crappy music out there right now, I can afford to wait a bit longer for another amazing offering from one of my personal favorites. I've listened to it on the site and it is amazing, btw. Your next project should be reading the phone book from Pluto - make it 3 CDs long, but have the first 2 blank to represent the delay in radio transmission. Mind --> blown

        I know I'm a little tardy on this, but I just keep listening through the album over and over and it just gets better with every listen. I've been starving for something complex and evocative and this exceeded all expectations - Cable, Tarantella, and Red Baron are probably my favorites, but Data Mountain in particular is just a fucking brilliant composition and an amazing end to the album... well done!

        So I finally had time to give the record the attention it deserves this past week, and man oh MAN. You guys just keep getting better and better, more and more fun. Can't wait until the next opportunity to see you live!

        P.S. Only you guys would (or *could*) write a peppy, pretty little song about industrial pollution. Love it.

        Any chance you could update your myspace page with a few of the new ones? “The Wicked Frontier” is already available in unpolished form below. That, plus one or two others (I have a feeling that “Diamonds!” and “Red Baron (Of Arizona)” will be real stand-outs) would make a nice update.
