Why you dig it? (I expect that that's due to the combination of familiarity and strangeness that marks Cage's early mature work.) How it's made? (I can get into that, but I suspect that's not what you mean.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12939881701345686354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123368.post-61681717175905754292008-05-08T12:27:00.000-04:002008-05-08T12:27:00.000-04:00Wow, Ben.

I just thought you'd like to hear that AC at least had one fan in its glory days. I was in high school in tuscaloosa. I remember seeing American Cosmic at some coffee shop on the strip (the name of which I forget). I remember that I had an American Cosmic tape (i think it was a tape) and I even took it to my guitar teacher to get him to teach me neil armstrong. So, thanks for posting the songs on Myspace, they bring back memories for me too.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697589863486511313noreply@blogger.com
