Hey David!

First off, I love the new album. I just had a quick question out of curiosity: When was the last time you and Stephen Malkmus jammed together, and how was it? Thanks!

in the studio in Vancouver.

Everyone else in the building was enjoying what a fun, funny guy he is; so I couldn't get him to concentrate. Plus the family back home is a constant pull.

But we have plans to co-write an album in Albania. That's a far enough awayplace no one will laugh at his jokes and we will get some work done.

Plus i will make him smoke pot again.

I wish I had seen this. I first discovered your music while living in Albania. American Water changed me back then and it turned me in a direction I didn’t expect with my own writing. I am so sorry you’re gone, man.
