Red Mosquito

I finally got around to listening to Eddie's Audible Book (I Am Mine). It's worth 80 minutes of your time. Some pretty good performances, and a really fascinating story I wasn't familiar with about how he met Jack Irons. Also an interesting confession of sorts about how having kids has impacted his writing. The way he put it, your best writing/inspiration comes from being out to sea and as a parent you need to be close to shore. Also that writing becomes more of a routinized process you sneak in when you have spare moments.

I forget how old his younger daughter is (well not forget, I don't know), but it'll be interesting to track how his writing changes (if at all) after she is out of the house Wikipedia says they were born in 04 and 08, so ST is the first 'post kid' record. I'm not sure which other band members have kids.

I really enjoyed the music. It'd be awesome if they released a record of that stuff.

Except Wishlist. Ed's groaning in Wishlist sucked.
