But as much fun as I have when I do actually listen to 50 Foot Wave, the reason it hasn’t made a massive impact on me this year is that I’m rarely in the mood to actually get the disc into the player.

Provided they go home and tell all their friends, by the time 50 Foot Wave roll around again next spring, they will hopefully find themselves playing in new company.
