Your music's so damned addictive. According to your website you've never played Toronto; but you have Jian Ghomeshi from Moxy Fruvous singing on the Notion! Did he ever have you on his CBC show? You gotta play Toronto I think you'd pack some pretty big rooms here. You played Vancouver and now we're jealous!

cheers

Congratulations on Level 6! Please get some more of your fine music up and into the ears of your adoring t61 fans. And if you are of a mind, please tell Jian that Matty from yeP! (in masschusetts) says hello and to pass it on to all the rest of the Fru-Four if and when he sees them.

Haha! Wait a second - I remember there use to be a group that sang the Carmen Sandiego theme song on the show. Was one of them you?! So awesome!

You have left an indelible mark on a childhood in which PBS was probably far too involved. For that I thank you. I'll be watching you closely.

I'm way ahead of you man. I was bumpin JEWMONGOUS before I even knew you were you. Even have a comment on one or two of them I think. Quality work is quality work, and you are great with or without Carmen Sandiago. Cheers!

Fantastic... I had no idea you were JEWMONGOUS (and as a BLJ - bacon-lovin'-jew - myself I can appreciate many of the sensibilities in your irreverent outpourings), and I am absolutely loving the dark anti-love songs that you are pumping out (I've written a few of my own on that score). Thank you for all you do for the world of music, and keep doing it!

Mr. Altman, my friend, you RULE. I love your tunes, your associations (Moxy Fruvous is one of my favorite bands of all time - my band used to play with them regularly), your dark, poppy sensibilities... please, please keep putting out the great tunes!

wow I saw that you had uploaded songs, and I said, "Sean Altman?! THE Sean Altman?!" I was so excited! :-p I am a huge fan of Rockapella, and I really enjoy the solo work of yours that I have heard! I was at the SoJam a cappella competition (/convention?) in Chapel Hill, NC about 5 years ago when you performed, and I bought the single for "Taller Than Jesus." Anyway, just wanted to express my happiness that you stumbled across the sixtyone.

I've caught a few of your songs there, too. "Taller Than Jesus" absolutely kills me every time. I'll have to revisit 'em all again in the morning. Great stuff!
