Re: Music--VOL Summershine

I'm glad somebody likes Summershine--it's been taking a bit of a beating lately. It did take me a while to come around to it, though. It came out in 8/01, and I wasn't sure about this bright, shiny, brit-pop whatever it was thing. I was happy with the old VOL sound. Fortunately, I had a copy of the VOL show at Cornerstone 2001 and when I listened to it in late December, I realized it was actually pretty good. I bought it in 1/02. After that, I regretted waiting so long. I love this record.
