↳ Song: "I Dream Of Sleep" by "Sloan"
Reminds of Smithereens' 'Crazy MixedUp Kid'. Which is always good.

Michael, a couple of things. I too have 49 states with only Alaska to go. Was stuck on 48 for years, but hit 49 - ND - in 2017. Like you, planning / hoping for Alaska…. Secondly, love your interviews. Bought and read “Liar Liar….” and “this band has no past…” as a result. Keep it coming!!
