moving isn’t fun! why do i have to move every 8 months or less? i have to move now, and then again around the beginning of august. fuckin’ weak. and not fun, like i said before.

last night was fun though. hot damn! we went to see the promise ring/ weakerthans show and it was highly excellent. the opening band was a pain though. they were called “say anything” and they were trying SO hard and you could tell they wanted to be good, so badly… they just weren’t. the guy could not really sing and their songs were un-good. oh well.

the weakerthans, who i’d never seen before live, were just fantastic. they sounded wonderful and played great stuff. i think that show upped my respect for them another notch, and it was already at a comfortable level. tres bien. then the promise ring, who i’d also not seen before, came on and were mighty fine as well. great show, i thought. i did pick up the new cd, and some of those songs sounded a-okay to me live, but after listening i have to say i still think “nothing feels good” is their best album. it’s just the most fun to listen to, it’s that simple.

ugh. packing. well i will get back to that, but first switch off the song of the week, by the promise ring as luck would have it, is one of the very pretty songs off wood/water. it’s called “become one anything one time“. enjoy.

[now hearing this: piebald – we’re the only friends we have. a month since i saw them live and picked up this cd and it still rocks my world. highly brian-endorsed.]
