i can't wait to see this live this summer! they sound and look wonderful!

here's the pic in color, from their myspace page! that wall reminds me of the walls in my elementary school...i'd bet it's at the loft, though, not hoagland elementary, home of the wildcats.

sad, but this is what i was thinking it would end up for the week. imho, that maroon 5 guy with the huge ego is annoying as all get-out. linkin park just isn't my speed.

heck, yeah, there's a drum solo!

oh, shit. "let's not get carried away" is even better than i thought it would be. am i the only one on this site that loves this band?

yep, chandler. you are awesome!

great review, derek.

yup. that's what i thought too.

she lost me at "dougie" howser. it's called fact-checking. look into it.

jim and greg both gave it a "buy it" rating this week, but jim was pretty reluctant. typical...jim and i don't share similar opinions very often.

yup, i know of someone with one...it's really cool too. i'm seriously jealous.

word. seconded.

lou! happy birthday to you, my friend. hope to see you soon...indy, perhaps?

ask any of my friends about my obsession with the uptown. while i am a "friend of the uptown", i avoid passing it whenever possible. i seriously cry sometimes with the thought of that treasure sitting there, locked up in political bullshit and left to rot. twenty years from now, when there are condos or an empty lot there in its place, people will say, "man, we should have saved that place." then again, maybe that's only in fort wayne...where paradise has been paved over with numerous empty parking lots. the problem is that it's too big and will cost too much to fix up. still, i'm gonn

ram is in my top ten albums of all time. seriously.

upon first listen, i'm digging it. i know it doesn't sound like it, but it harkens back to the flowers in the dirt era (a bit "my brave face"ish), minus the clever elvis costello lyrics, of course.

this is sad news. another great one gone. definitely on of indiana's best. (we like to claim him...at least, i do) i read slaughterhouse five this winter for the first time...best non-music book i've read in a long time, though breakfast of champions has long been a fave of mine. if you haven't read them, you should. rest in peace, kurt. you were one cool guy and inspired a lot of people with your unique style, including me.

cool!

keep trying...after being shut out for 10 minutes, at ten after, i got row C for indy.

yes, ma'am!

yay! it's about time!

this sounds awesome. i wish i could go. congrats on our own mr. lackey for getting to design his second tweedy solo show poster in a row! you are awesome, my friend, and deserve all the success in the world!
