[kj] OT: Swans recommendation

[Alexander Smith]

I ordered SOUNDTRACKS FOR THE BLIND and a shirt from them recently,  
and Jarboe autographed the digipack and wrote me a nice note,  
thanking me for my support.

I gather she and Gira are no longer an item???

Speaking of Gira, you guys should check out his new album, The Angels  
of Light's WE ARE HIM. I've been playing it incessantly.
