This is still by far my favorite journal. I think I'll live in here for a few days and find some good stuff.

The extra redeeming quality tho, for me, is that he is still young(ish) and willing to work with a
nice cross-section of younger composers/performers that he seems to feed off of in a creative way.

Oh very nice, you're lucky. I'd love to experience Jesus' Blood live. It's one of my all-time favorites.
