At 12AM, on 8/25/09, we welcomed a bright, new, shiny Chrome into the world. We breathed a sigh of relief, we ooh’d and ahh’d, we barely slept, we gave thanks.

May you bring many hours of pleasant company to those who hear you, who read you (*NOTE to buyers: look closely for the liner notes/lyrics in the CD packaging!), may you bring beauty to this world, may your sales reach record sales (to quote Randall Goodgame), and may you not be the last of your species. Be gentle, be mild, be gracious. Remember the saint you are.

Also, for those of you who are interested, I’m currently writing a podcast for the Rabbit Room that will detail the entire album, its theme(s), shed a little light on each individual song, perhaps uncover some of the overall abstractions (what? who ME?). I imagine it as a companion piece to the overall album. I’ll let you know when the podcast is available.

Lastly, Part II of the Saving The Set List interview is up today, as well. Thanks again to Daryl for taking the time.
