Mwahahaha.

Y'all sound like apologists. "Normally I avoid 'blog bands' like the plague, and when I succumb to the hype enough to give them a listen I am presented with some crap like Vampire Weekend or The Fleet Foxes most of the time. Thanks, but No Thanks." Autopsy IV 9b I ejected VW (and Fleet Foxes for that matter. ) into the ether after the first listens because like cheap beer and Britney Spears, life's too short, my hard drive too small.

Bacause this keeps floating up: Meet me in the morning, 56th and Wabasha Meet me in the morning, 56th and Wabasha Honey, we could be in Kansas By time the snow begins to thaw.

Backlash.

Thank you Dick. I know I can always count on you.

Of all time? My tastes are too labile. Today? I've been waking up to: they took my ears in Omaha thought me dead but I weren't at all and I left them bleeding in the mud Ben Nichols Toadvine

Man I love this place. Transferring to the iPodage now.

Sarah and I have tickets for the Lawrence, Kansas show. Liberty Hall is one of my favorite little (1050 including balcony) venues. It's GA and we'll be in the front row. We're jazzed.

I took this exact same driving trip (trip back south was a bit different) when newly pregnant with Sarah. Those mountain roads were a little touch and go.

Just finishing this. Really fascinating read. My friend Claudia, a self proclaimed 'scatologist' , is reading it next: Next: My reading habits follow the seasons. I like to read before bed, but the older I get the faster I fall asleep. My favorite reading times are on cold snowy Sunday afternoons when I can gobble a book whole, in the bathtub during an hour salt bath soak, or at the pool. Very little reading gets done during gardening season, however.

Just one girl's opinion.
