"How it feels to be something on" still gives me the shivers in certain parts.
There is no bad around today in teh same genre that comes even close to the simplicity and beauty of SDRE

Nice post jevad. Seen them many times in college, met Jeremy Enigk twice, saw his solo show for Frog Queen and have seen the Fire Theft once in Chicago.
How it feels... is an album all it's own. No other band has ever done something like that.

Really?
I highly reccommend them. From stuff you've linked in teh past I think they would be right up your alley....

I'll check it out, thanks.

The Fire Theft...come close...but no cigar. Even his solo stuff seemed amatuer in comparison...the wife is a big fan of Frog Queen though.
Even the new album they put out a couple years back was fucking amazing and yet totally ignored by the mainstream media....

I'm getting some right now, suggested from http://www.last.fm, but I guess you'd know which ones are good.

jevad, I know we've talked about this before.
I met him for the first time after a show in Dallas, told him about how his religious motivations had been really inspiring to me, how it made me want to be a better person. This was all true of course. He gave me a very sincere "wow, thanks alot" but was then distracted by some twerp wanting to tell him and Dan that his band covers In Circles and he plays the single note guitar part.
Jeremy kept looking back towards me and I could tell he was being polite to that person, but really wanted to get back talking to me. For whatever reason I left soon after that and that was it.
I don't get starstruck by people, but there's always been something really great about that moment, thinking about what we might have talked about, what he might have shared with me about himself that you'd never learn in an interview.Anyhow, for the big fans I'm sure some of you might like to steal the poster I have of the cover of How it feels that is signed by the three original members playing at that time.
Hanging in my apartment, I'll always have it.
