Long time ago there was a store called Borders and they'd have endcaps where you'd put on headphones and could listen to random CDs. I was in high school and I just randomly was able to listen to this album while standing in a store aisle and I just distinctly remember being floored by this song and its concept. Been a fan ever since. 20 years ago?

They played for a solid two hours of pure awesomicity but they didn't play my favorite song (which is Styrofoam Plates) in the set and i was super bummed. But then they came out for the encore and it was the first song they played, best day of my life hahaha. Well.... i'm glad i told that near pointless story to a total stranger......

There are some amazing bands out right now, you just have to filter through so much crap, especially on the radio in my area. DCFC, Arcade Fire etc. are wonderful, and you will never hear them on the radio. You'll hear every clone rock band in the world, but nothing significant. This is a good time for music that is different, and it is getting better all the time.
