I hope nobody minds a bit of shameless self-promotion. (Actually, I do have a little shame about it, otherwise I wouldn't have included this disclaimer.) I'm about to set off on my first solo tour of any significant length--15 shows over 14 days in 13 cities--and I'd really love to see some of you guys at the shows. If you're not familiar with my music, be sure to check out www.myspace.com/thesuggestions for a few samples. Feel free to contact me for more information on any of the shows. And don't be shy about telling your friends!

So good. Very similar to Sloan's "Twice Removed", which is still my favorite Sloan album after all these years. http://www.youthgroup.com.au jb __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
