You really have to be ready for it! It is also a bit more tame than the album version apparently.... ;-) @Sean, yeah I think it is actually that blown out – its a bit of an aggressive recording.

I know it's lo-fi but I about went deaf when it came on. I loved Work is Done, though. Is that mp3 of Blood meant to sound so scrunched and blown out?

Sorry. I'll take my pills.

Toad, "bleak" in the sense that you are finding these rays of light in this bleak "big picture"/Macro view of the current music industry (as a whole as compared to the younger fresher industry folks). An overall industry that some say is currently without a future as we see it today...yeah that is what I meant...yeah. Ha!

I love that Navigator album, and Braden McKenna's solo stuff and at least one more album are all available for free (I think) download on the label website: http://www.magicgoatmusic.com/digitalmagic.html Oh, and thanks Dirkler.

"these days there is a lot of love to go around, and that's the most inspiring thing I've noticed this year" Couldn't agree more with you Matthew. I feel like the new kid on the block and have felt nothing but love from everyone surrounding my efforts. And I can't thank them all enough for it. I'd just love to shake their hands or hug them! And thank you for introducing us all to Navigator. Both songs are beautiful in very different ways. The passion and realism of what they are doing screams through those mics and onto that tape. Love it so much it almost hurts. (that sounds exaggerated but it's the pure truth) I think this falls into the category of being completely accurate.
