Thank you for coming here, thank you for being you!

Here are some quick little tidbits I picked up recently:

  • Son Volt's latest record is pretty good. I'm liking it more than I thought I would. And I did not know that Son Volt supported Billy Bragg on the Mermaid Avenue tour.
  • I've been really into Morrissey and The Smiths as of late. I entirely blame my boyfriend.
  • I'm hoping I get to see Mike Doughty next month in San Francisco. Adding that to The Decemberists show the same month would be really sweet!
  • I can't get enough of The Mountain Goat's latest record! It's so, so very good. Wonderful stuff. I highly reccomend it.
  • Who decided to have Earlimart open for Son Volt this fall?! I really don't understand that.
  • Recently, I've gotten copies of Anything Else But The Truth by The Honorary Title, In Your Honor by Foo Fighters, and Madonnna by ...Trail Of Dead. I'm convinced that the latter is one of my new "it" bands. WOW.

Finally, can anyone reccomend any good songs/artists/records? I've gotten a lot more new music than what was listed, I just haven't had time to listen to it. Which would be why I want more...yeah, that's it.

Now Playing: Morrissey- "November Spawned A Monster" (live)
