The Bachelors are in intensive training for our Tobacco A-Go-Go Dance Party this Saturday (described both below and herein by the Independent Weekly), and we trust that our fans, friends, and fellows are limbering up as well. But please take a breather from your exertions to check out these excellent new reviews of Said I Had a Vision. See you this weekend!

One of our daily pleasures is shipping international orders of Said I Had a Vision, to Sao Paolo, Paris, Tokyo, Manchester, London, Dublin, Copenhagen, and other locales far from our home in North Carolina. Here’s a nice review on the Rotterdam-based gospel blog Just Moving On. Thanks, Cies!
