Right off the bat, I'm going to openly and officially claim the proceeding interview as a "success". I'm sure that you will all draw your own conclusions and, most likely, many of them will be different than mine. Many of you will even leave your own comments contradicting my assessment.

Silver Jews - "Strange Victory, Strange Defeat" . Saw the Silver Jews with Dan last night. What an amazing, beautiful show.
