Yay! Nobody I've ever met has known who they were, except my dad who gave me their first two albums in the first place. Someone who understands!

But do you have the even more obscure CBC-recording-studio-only John K. Samson solo on an acoustic guitar versions?

No, but aaaaagh want it want it now. (I get minor geek points for having fangirled him in person for Pamphleteer, though. (Well, by 'fangirled' I mean 'did my best to explain in an articulate and sober way just why I love it so much', but there was a definite undertone of squee)).
