I’ve recently rediscovered this album, and have really been enjoying it:
Somewhere, in a better universe, the Weakerthans became America’s preferred purveyor of pretentious steampop. Colin Meloy is doing fine, almost certainly writing Objective C at a tidy standing desk, atop which sits a coffee cup, moleskine and carefully-chosen pencil.
Based on your music review, you might try watching Zero Kelvin (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113557/) to see if you’d enjoy a stint in Greenland with some equally entertaining companions.
