I'm in this video (that's the back of my head). Fun fact: It was filmed in the old (closed) Scala cinema in Kings Cross and was co-directed by Sean and a young up-and-coming director named Edgar Wright. I wonder what happened to him. ; )

Such BRILLIANCE. Why can't music like this be made today?

I was in a rather small record shop in London, when this track was played over the whole shop. I stood there for an hour listening to most of the album then bought it. Pet Sounds being my all time No 1 album, Hawaii is as close. Thanks for this, Vortexion.

They opened for Stereolab at a show in Chapel Hill NC - many years ago, I was there. It was great.

1996 - I discovered these roving Llamas. None of my friends understood it. 10 years later i am soooo proud of being among the first who understood their genius (among my "so-called musical expert friends"). God bless the Llamas. If she exists...

I heard Sean was tapped to work with Brian Wilson at one time. But, never happened. I think on the Brian's side cause he is somewhat sketched out. But could have been REALLY interesting!
