If that’s the drummer from JET (middle), I will punch the face of Death.  The female figure… Neko Case or Jenny Lewis?  I’d prefer Case.  Hell - it might be that “Rehab” woman/thing.  Far right shadow is Cass McCombs - for sure.

I really do think he deserves it.  I have not been dissapointed in any albums since they changed their styles starting with satanic panic in the attic.  I cannot wait for False Priest this spring!!! Kevin, you are my hero.

If anyone deserves this it is Kevin/of Montreal. there is no one else like them! They are the only band with 20 plus albums that are so diverse I can listen to them everyday<3 I just wish they would book more shows soon!
