Very Nice Words About KGW.
From Peggy of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - a rare appearance of the KGW brandmark signifier (also known as a "Brandmeier" after Jonathon Brandmeier of Chicago AM radio "fame") on pitchfork.com:
Kleenex Girl Wonder: Secret Thinking (Self-Released): Graham Smith is an underrated genius and he writes such relatable lyrics about love and relationships. This is really just an excuse to mention him because he happened to put out a record in 2011, but he's written so many good songs. Ponyoak (an album he put out in 1998) is probably the most sentimental album I'll ever own. No matter what I've moved on to, I come back to it every year. -- Peggy
Squarespace switched some formatting jazz on me that threw me for a loop. I'll figure it out before EOY.
Eoy,

EDITED shortly after initial post to add links. Graham told me to tell you that the canon of professional and amateur comedian-musicians is something you should pay close attention to if you want to know where his head is at sometimes these days.
