2Given the fact that I quit listening to all other music once I bought Boxer, I would say I am very excited to see them this year. I will be sitting there in the heat all blue-blazered, with a bluebird on my shoulder and a glass of lemonade.
you with me Chris??

6I’ve debated buying this album several times and never pulled the trigger. Their previews on iTunes don’t sound so promising.
Am I missing something?
