i felt your glow

in this week's issue of the stranger, music editor eric grandy wrote a fan/geek, front cover article on the microphones - the glow part 2. i appreciate this piece on many different levels but mainly on the idea of what the glow part 2 makes me feel like. when i first heard the album, i was living in austin. my dear friend/show buddy, eric, played it for me on his record player. i felt instantly transported into the mysterious forested region of the pacific northwest. this record made washington magical for me and i still had not been there. when the music started all that came to mind was the aurora borealis, stars, the moon, and gigantic pine trees. this weekend, i'm hosting a listening party. for 4 years i've lived in the magical state of washington but i want to be transported again.
