Thanks for the kind words re: Hampton’s Lullaby. Went through a period where I couldn’t listen to it without hearing our mistakes. Now I relish those mistakes.

Also a fan of Baba Yaga. Gotta dig deeper into the rest of the catalog!

That was my last one. In a full-circle moment with your 2010 list, Megafaun’s Brad Cook produced the new one out in August.

Your support of CML over the years has really meant a lot. Thanks, Steven.

About a year and a half ago I was at a concert in Chicago and one of the bartenders had a Call Me Lightning shirt on and it sparked instant recognition of "oh! Yes! Loved that album, whatever happened to..." And it has been in steady rotation since. Still rips indeed.

Saw the Soft Pack back in the day as well. And these lists are fresh reminders of those that ascended and those that fell off. Nice to see some resurrection.

Steven, thanks for the great lists! I was finishing law school in 2010 so it’s nice to go back and check out all the things I missed while studying for the bar exam.

I DO remember seeing the Letterman performance and immediately buying the cd from Amazon.
