Even though Julian …
Even though Julian was sick and was having a hard time singing, Minister of Longitude sounded great last night at the First Unitarian show. And is it just me, or is there something really comforting about the sound of the 7 Foot Tall Metronome?

I’m so glad Julian …
I’m so glad Julian decided to continue with something in the vein of Neutral MIlk Hotel…I think this would be strikingly similar to something they would be doing now. Remember when Julian Koster was in Neutral Milk hotel?
