I saw Jason perform three times, in 2004 (Charlottesville), 2006 (Baton Rouge), and 2007 (New Orleans). I spoke with him on two of those occasions. (More...)

The album features songs with classic Stephin Merritt charm and benefits from vast improvements in production over recent releases.

A pretty damned great band when they wanted to be. I’m honored they let me release “Teletwin”.
