Hope he's not a forbidden name around here.
Smog was perhaps my biggest musical love as an adolescent and certainly one who formed my music palette. Unlike others of his ilk (looking at you, Oldham) he legitimately gets better with each record. With twenty recording years behind him, that's a rare feat!
As I've grown, his music has with me. He remains my favourite vocalist and lyricist. My one constant. And yes, through his association I found Joanna.
Any other Callahan aficionados?
