On a huge kick with them for the past few months.I dismissed the first two albums as derivative back in the day and ignored their later output.Then my daughter got into them and I started listening to Neon Ballroom,Diorama and Young Modern quite a bit.With every album they matured,progressed and changed.With their newest album Daniel Johns really impressed me with his expanded vocal range,songwriting and stunning string and horn arrangements.Totally different from their early days.

Wow,I am overwhelmed by all the kind words and thoughts!

I put alot of thought into this decision and it felt right.I will still visit regularly,and truth be told it feels nice to come here and post and not have to worry about doing this and that.This place feels fun again!

Love you all and thanks for being a part of the good memories I have of this site!

Dude!! Where are you retiring to? What island in the S. Pacific? Can we come visit? I hear the PA retirement package is pretty sweet!!

Anyhow, hope to see you around the forums more often hob-knobing with us little people

just saw this today...

Hey Jody, can't say we agree much on anything (musical or life issues), but it may come as a surprise to you.... but I kind of learned to dig you... Headbanger

Stay around, uh!!!!!!

EDIT: I suppose that's my way of saying thanks for the ungratifying job, one I never wanted to do....

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

...and which you never regretted making a bit harder for the ones who do want to do it. Wink
