So, I was reading Pitchfork the other day and streamed a song from some band called 'Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin' if only for my love of early 1990s Russian leaders. The craziest part about the whole thing is that they're good, and not just good in the 'hey, they're better than you'd expect' way, but actually good. They're so good that I wrote them and told them of my joy:

Dear People Associated w/ the magic that is Someone Still
Loves You, Boris Yeltsin,
I wanted to contact you to let you know that since 'discovering' your music yesterday there have already been two significant changes in my life. First, as a direct result of having to google you repeatedly, I have indeed learned how to spell the former Russian President's name. Also, I enjoyed your music so much that I actually purchased it, and not just from iTunes either, but from Polyvinyl, so I will receive an actual CD, like with a case and everything. I wanted you to know that.
I heard you were recording / divining a new album. I hope
that Polyvinyl will grant you a shiny new tourbus that will take you to Boston.
Best regards,
M. Rybacki
