        With the upcoming release of the new album, might I suggest you try doing an AMA thread on Reddit. It would be pretty neat to see and it would be a great chance to introduce people to your music.

        Love for Long makes me dance around my apartment like a total idiot (of the Liz Lemon variety). Amazing.

        I will never give up my two spaces after a period. Old habits die hard, and frankly I'm just not even trying.

        I can't wait to see/hear the covers. And two spaces is still correct when using a fixed-width font. Otherwise it's one space all the way.
