Davey introduced me to this wonderful Life Without Buildings record some years ago, and while the CD version came into my hands pretty easily, the vinyl proved to be much more elusive. The label (Tugboat) that pressed it went under shortly after it was released, and the band itself ceased to exist not long after, so no new label picked it up. Over the past few years, it became the first thing I looked for whenever I visited a new record store or auction site, but it never turned up until a few weeks ago, when I got an alert from my Discogs want list and was able to purchase it for a pretty reasonable price. It feels weird to own it now... I guess the time that I started obsessively listening to the album was around the same time I started expanding my vinyl collection in earnest, so it's always been near the top of my want list. I don't even know what will occupy that spot now. Still, awesome band, awesome record, and only the better part of a decade to track it down. ;-)
