And while I am counting down the days to Glasgow…I am also counting down the days to seeing this man in London on May 2nd. I am positively ODing on his music right now in the lead up to the gig. He’s incredible. I really cannot wait for this! Champing at the bit…

Well, it must have started early in the year. Jim posted a John Grant song on St Patrick’s Day. It was called Pale Green Ghosts, and it was awesome! I left a comment saying as much, and that I needed me some more John Grant, he then posted a link to another John Grant song…
