[kj] (OT) Everything everything...

[Jiri]

When I lived in a dorm between a UAE citizen who was always shouting on 
the phone (not sure how careful he was w/ his breakfast rolls) and two 
Spaniards who were always shouting at their video game console, in order 
to nap I would blast "Second Toughest of the Infants" so that my mind 
could relax and drift into slumber. Falling into dreamworld to that 
album (the first two tracks in particular) at full volume surpasses any 
experience I've had on drugs.

***
And I second Mark's thoughts on Everything Everything: quite good, but 
doesn't capture the vibe the way some of the unofficial live stuff does. 
I think it may have been tainted a bit by the Beaucoup Fish-era vibe, 
which was nice but not as good.
