I Am A Bird Now did look interesting, and I've heard good things about Architecture in Helsinki. Caribou I'd not heard of until you started talking about them.

MIA just seems like it's from out of nowhere. First time I heard of them was yesterday, while checking out a Blender mag top 100 (and I went-who fucking knows about this?) and now they're like genital warts, man.

I'll be in Spokane soon, and I own the Bonnie Prince Billy CD, I think. I have a couple. I'll bring them to burn, if you tpdmcxge.
