been a long time looking for "Car" and for "Cimarron". Many Thanks

Seems like I tell this story wherever I go, but my life was changed when I saw Wider and the Grifters open for Come on the eleven; eleven tour. I was 12 and it made an impression.
BTW, IHATETHE90s, I am pretty sure I can get you a copy of the 2nd Wider 7" by way of my "donation" to your great undertaking. Is that cool, or are you hot for the 1st one that has Matt Sweeney? I don't see that one around here as much, but I'd probably pass mine along in a really lobsided trade or just pass it along, too. Lemme Know - Lex
