Craig Finn Treehouse Records In-store Performance1 (by kevinflo)
My 8yo and I love this song from Clear Heart Full Eyes.
(Sounds like Finn does, too, given that he’s “taken to calling the band Some Guns.”)

E-mail and cars
I love the chapter in The Amateur where you talk about e-mail – how it wins you over in spite of your skepticism, and allows you to translate conversation into a kind of lost epistolary mode. I wonder if you’re still as optimistic about the Internet and its effect on your work. I don’t think “optimistic” is quite the right word. It is a necessity now, just like cars (and who is optimistic about cars?).
