Chad VanGaalen

Chad's my hero.
He has just (at least i only noticed it today) released a collection of b-sides from his wonderful 5 star album "soft airplane". And he's cool enough to give it away as a free download: http://www.softairplane.com/ - To be honest, i understand why he's releasing it for free - it doesn't really get to the same quality as his last album, but if you know how good it is, you'll still be tempted to download it - and rightfully so. It still is more than decent stuff.

Below the video to the wonderful "willow tree" - one of my fav tracks of the past year.
