Great background.
First three songs are great. Wonderful 90's Euro vibe to it.

I use to chill to this album quite a bit back in the day. Incredible night music. You listen to the group Mono as well?

And for those that know the B-town band and how two artists one from Gainesville and Dale Lawrence from B-town created this music sending tapes to one another. And a bonus track from another Bloomington band, The Mysteries of Life. Jake from MOL also played with a later version of the Vulgar Boatmen.
I love Air, and popped it on Pandora and that band and the related bands are a pretty great era of music.

RIP Peter Yarrow. Paul Stokey is the last member left alive. I was able to see them at IU Auditorium circa 1990.
On our recent long drive home from Key West, I came across the album, "The Best of...So Far" by The Kooks in my library. I had forgotten how good it was, from start to finish.

I recently began participating with an all-Prine band recently, even though I was mostly, if not entirely, unfamiliar with his music. I still have some massive blind spots in my musical knowledge. I think it’s because I prefer music that is beautiful sounding, as opposed to lyrical brilliance, and JP’s tunes lean towards the lyrical beauty. But they’re not limited to their lyrical beauty. Just stating the obvious here, his music is incredible. Better late than never I guess.
