Imagine meeting someone and going through their cd collection and not only do they have a lot of albums that you love and a lot of interesting albums by bands you've never heard of, but they also have a lot of albums you've never heard of by bands you love. Needless to say, Keith impressed me from the get-go. He does more than his fair share to keep Birmingham noisy and weird. We should all salute him by clanking pairs of axes over our heads.

I wanted to be the first to leave Keith a testimonial. Keith is a gentleman and a scholar and one of the few folks I enjoy the company of in this world of shitbags.
