I was checking out another world. One of Slint, Shellac, and Fugazi. Shopping at Rough Trade, when it was beneath Slam City, and making eyes at the girl on that Tindersticks sleeve. Writing for Skateboard Magazine, and brawling with Modest Mouse. David Pajo post-“Spiderland” meanwhile was creating his own sound of someone you love who's going away and it doesn't matter (Copyright Penguin Café Orchestra).

For Phil Calvert.
