Am I just a slow learner, or has it simply taken awhile, like any really finely subtle piece of work, for Joe's songs to grow on me? There's some real genius there, and I'm sure I'm still missing things. If you're thick and distracted like me, give them a few close listens and maybe they'll unfold like that for you.

Anyway, dammit Joe, you're ruining what's supposed to be full-out screaming QuickTopic business-building day. I hereby resolve to take off my headphones.
