Beautiful.

We are currently in an online battle of the bands. It’s comprised of some acts from southeastern mass. Our matchup went up today and we are currently getting killed by a middle age cover band. Do me a favor and take 2 seconds to vote for us. Thanks!
David Bazan is, in my opinion, one of the best songwriters out there. I know I’m not the only one to think so, but lately it’s been reinforced to me. There are moments where I hear a song of his and I just think, “Shit, I wish I could write that”. Specifically that happened on the first verse of Hard To Be, which is the first song of his new record.
I bought the record the day it came out and enjoyed it. I would mostly put it on at night while I painted, but I guess I never payed much attention to it.
The other day I listened to it for the first time through a pair of headphones and I was blown away. I tend to experience music better when it’s right in my ear, and I felt excited about an album for the first time in a while. The only other recent albums to really offer me a sense of excitement lately have been “Brother’s Blood” by Kevin Devine and “For Emma, Forever Ago” by Bon Iver.
It’s something I think about often. I’m someone who is pursuing music and writing songs, yet I find myself so bored with a lot of music that comes out. Maybe it’s because I’m older or maybe it’s the changing landscape of how we receive music (which I believe I’ve written about here).
Either way, this new Bazan record is really really fucking good. Go buy “Curse Your Branches”
This the trailer for an independent movie that will be making its way to some festivals. My friend Kyle, from Chicago, is in it and he had let one of the kids working on the movie borrow my first record. He ended up really liking it and decided to put “Shake” in the movie and also a little bit of it in the trailer. I completely forgot about it happening and it’s pretty cool to see.
I want this badly.

This is so true. I need at least a week before I grow into my haircut.
This is my best friend. He ran a marathon this past weekend and in the midst of that long run was still able to pull off the “suck it” sign. We are so mature.

Haha. This hits close to home.
Charlie: Milk steak.
Dennis: I’m not putting milk steak!
Mac: Just put steak.
Charlie: Don’t put steak, put milk steak, she’ll know what it is.
Dennis: No, she won’t know what it is, Charlie. Nobody knows what that is. Okay, alright, what’s your favorite hobby?
Charlie: Uh, magnets.
Dennis: Magnets- okay, making magnets, collecting magnets-
Mac: Playing with magnets-
Charlie: Just magnets.
Dennis: Okay, we’ll put snowboarding.
Charlie: I don’t really snowboard.
Dennis: Alright, what are some of your likes?
Charlie: Uh, ghouls.
Mac: Son of a bitch. What are you talking about now?
Charlie: You know, funny little green ghouls.
Dennis: Wh-what? Like in movies, in cartoons?
Charlie: Little green ghouls, buddy!
Mac: Don’t write ghouls.
Dennis: I’m not! I’m putting travel, Jesus Christ. What are your dislikes?
Charlie: People’s knees.It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia 5.05, “The Waitress Is Getting Married”
This was definitely the funniest scene of the season so far; and may be one of my favorite scenes in the whole series. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Charlie may be my favorite TV character ever.
