I'm holding dwindling hope that this is good.
I couldn't get into Union at all, but Notes of Blue was fucking great.

My hot take: Farrar's best work (since American Central Dust) has been with New Multitudes and the Farrar/Gibbard album
And I knew when I woke up Rock N Roll would be here forever

Is it hot if it's true?

True or true opinion?

That Ben Gibbard/Farrar album is really good.

Excellent. It was my album of the year that year. Farrar wrote (I believe) all but one song, and hearing a different voice sing his songs was a revelation.

Weren't the lyrics all from unreleased Kerouac poems?

Yeah, something like that. A la Mermaid Avenue or New Multitudes. Farrar wrote most of the music, though (Gibbard only wrote the title track, if I'm remembering correctly)
