MUSIC NOTES
- Barenaked Ladies are way better than I realized, there are 2 songs on that album that got heavy, heavy rotation this month: "Light Up My Room" and "I'll Be That Girl". Really really good songs.
- Its extremely uncharacteristic for me to have not listened to any albums for 17 full days but I was in a really, really bad place this month
- Favorite "new finds" of the month: Sugar, Ill Tempered, Blue Series Continuum, Toys That Kill, Runaround, Lower Depths, Panoramic
- Zach Navis once told me that my band sounds more like Sugar, Bob Mould's band after Husker Du, than we do Husker Du, whom we had been compared to before. I had never listened to them before the 19th and I have to agree with Navis, except I can't wail like Bob.
- Spenny's Christmas album is so fucking ridiculous but I think the world needed it
- New releases from Toys That Kill, I'm Glad It's You, Run The Jewels, Nine Inch Nails are all on point
- "Children, they walk away. I think about it every day."
