Dear Jim and William,
If you’re reading this, please come back to Indianapolis. I didn’t know you played here the last time ’til a week after the fact.
Grr. Argh.
Hopefully some activity will include an AUSTRALIAN TOUR ?!
Wow, Psychocandy turns 30 next year?! Such a great album. I wonder if they are gonna release a super deluxe anniversary edition sorta similiar to the deluxe editions of The Velvet Underground and Nico and White Light White Heat? Not sure what they have left in the vaults to release though.
