Sometimes I hear people who have recently met the love of their life say things like, “I wasn’t even looking for love, it just happened.” Or maybe something like, “I couldn’t have imagined anything so perfect,” or even, “All my life has been building toward this moment!” I’m about to tell you that I’ve become one of those people, but before you get too excited about some new romance I should quickly make the point that I’m referring to an album, not a person. I had never heard of The Welcome Wagon, nor their debut album Welcome to the Welcome Wagon. This music came into my life when I wasn’t looking for it, certainly wasn’t expecting it, but here, I’ll say it: I couldn’t have imagined anything so perfect. I’ll let you read the official website for a far better description than I could come up with. I know I’m being dramatic, but I feel like I’ve just been connected with something I was meant to hear and love and cherish for all times. Who needs romance when a record like that exists?

so did you order it by mail? I haven’t been able to listen to it..
I did order it by mail but that copy hasn’t come yet. I’ve been listening to the version that’s in the zip file. Are you not able to unzip it or some such thing? You need to hear this – you’re going to love it!
Beautifully said! I felt this way when I first heard the band Devotchka. I’ll check them out…
Reem, I can see how Devotchka would generate similar “This is what it’s all about!” feelings. I have one record by them but haven’t given it its proper first listening (I’ve played it quietly at work, but I think I need to do like you and put it in my car and let it swallow me up). Music!
