rain sails us in a leafy boat down the street

the innocence mission's new album is called "my room in the trees" and i think you should buy it as soon as you can, or even sooner. (it comes out july 13th, but if you pre-order it, it should find its way to your doorstep in a real jiffy, like mine did.)

i don't seem to have any words to say about the innocence mission. i suppose it's because i love this band so much that i can't be levelheaded enough to avoid slipping into sappiness. and sappiness is the last thing the innocence mission warrants. their songs are much too unassuming, noble, and true for sappiness. see, even that was sort of sappy, wasn't it? words aren't working. well, you and i would be better off listening to the words karen peris sings, anyhow.
