They are SO fantastische

When writing about eighteenth-century migrant labor, it helps to obsessively listen to:

• early Reggae: the Heptones, Keith & Tex, other various Studio One...
• and this gyrating whacked-out treasure recently discovered via Pandora... 

that's right; Kelley Stoltz, with whose smooth-as-glass lyrics and achingly moogish layered ufo sound structure i was
feeling slightly melancholicly obsessed, as if to say to myself, oh no i've fallen onto the overtrod emo ditch once again, how can i countenance such fandom? i make myself sick.  can i not collect something genuine, local, fresh-from-the-gut for once?

 --- only to discover (woohoo!) not only does he
live in SF but (YAY) he's playing down the street (of course) tonight
at the Makeout Room (EVERYTHING IMPORTANT IN THE UNIVERSE HAPPENS ON 22ND STREET. 
THERE IS NO REASON TO EVER LEAVE 22ND STREET.) 

I am SO THERE.
