So, if you can tell from this picture message, the gentleman in the photo is holding open a copy of William F. Gibbs' debut album, "My Fellow Sophisticates" for ya. It just so happens that this gentleman is Gary Jules. Probably best known for his involvement in The Hotel Cafe scene, which spawned folks like Joshua Radin, William Fitzsmmons, and Ingrid Michaelson; his arrangement of "Mad World" for the film Donnie Darko introduced him to millions of fans. You can listen to the song and see a video here. Oh yeah, and Floyd's cover of it is pretty awesome too. Suffice it to say, we're pretty impressed he's gotten his hands on WFG's material. Since he lives in western NC now, maybe they can meet soon.
