Travis Dubya McGee Bickle | Texas Quail Hunting Camp | 12/13/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "What can I say? You either get this record or you don't...But, if you do get it, the rewards are plentiful indeed. Paddy McAloon's a complete badarse genius! Lovingly produced by Thomas Dolby, of "Hyperactive" fame..."
