You say you miss me but is that the best that you can do?



That line being said, I have missed Fairweather, for a long 8 years. I am also going to give them my best and trek my ass down to DC for this gig.

I found out via Facebook invite while at work and I almost lost my shit. I cannot explain how excited I am for this show. I can't wait to hear all those songs again and scream and shout with some friends like old times back in 2000-2002 all over New England. I've never seen DC so this is a great excuse to get on down there and see our nations capitol.

I've seen many "old" bands reunite the past 5 years. Even though I DO like those bands, some of them I never got to see when they were actually a band. Some I got a chance to see, but it was later in their career and I just never got a chance to develop that connection. Fairweather however is THAT band I have THAT kind of connection with.

I've been waiting a long time and I'm so pleased that I'm going to get the chance to be a part of this.

Bazan: Alone at the Microphone DVD



This is a really good Documentary on David Bazan. David Bazan is someone who I haven't followed so much as a solo artist. I own "Curse Your Branches" and it hasn't been spun as much as it probably should have. However if you did not know, David Bazan was the singer for a band I do listen to a lot and really enjoy called Pedro The Lion.

Its always opinion to say who is "amazing", "brilliant" and who also, "sucks" in music but I personally feel that David Bazan is an extremely talented song writer. So I am excited to watch this DVD for the interviews mostly but also to see my favorite Pedro The Lion songs performed since I never got a chance to see Pedro live when they were a band.

Things My Girlfriend Makes Me For Breakfast III



Apple cinnamon pancakes with apple brown sugar compote. I don't really have much to say about it. Only that I wish you were there to eat it. Apple & brown sugar compote slayed me. It was incredible. The pancakes themselves didn't even have to be apple, an added perk for them to be of course but the compote alone kicked you in the mouth with flavor.
