Reviews for On The Moments We Share are beginning to appear. Our favorite is from sctas.com. Kaleb says that « TJF is art », which puts our music at the bottom of a list of names including Rembrandt, Shakespeare, Austen, Chopin, and many others. What a silly mix-up!; but we shall accept the compliment graciously; you're invited over for tea anytime, Sir. Babysue spent some time with the record as well, and earned super bonus points for their Ian Anderson call-out: their review is here. Other reviews are more critical, but thoughtful; and appreciated.

Eric Ristau has produced a documentary about the formation of a « new » island in the land mass known ironically as Greenland, due to climate changes in the Arctic. In putting together the soundtrack for the film, he summoned musician John Holowach's track « Sitting and waiting for my heart to stop beating », which uses instrumental samples from the TJF song « Grenade in my mouth ». (We'll let the reader decide which title is more morose.)

Go visit the website warmingisland.org to read about the expedition and to watch the film.
