Well, the man in your avatar is Marcel Proust, who wrote in search of lost time, which is referenced in, and seems to have been imitated by (in style at least) the poem you posted. Did you write it? I haven't listened to the album yet, i admit, but my guess is that the poem is essentially the story of the album? I don't know, i'm probably wrong.

By the way, Your post on Daydream nation inspired me to get it straight away even though it held little to no interest to me before. Brilliantly written stuff. I love how you meld your own experiences and observations with the music to create something more than a review.
