"Let the River Run," originally by Carly Simon


"Like a Prayer," originally by Madonna

Man. Weather here in Somerville is supposed to be rainy and unpleasant tomorrow. I had hoped to get people together to sit on my porch and drink margaritas and daiquiris and things. But, alas! My grand, drunken ambitions have likely been thwarted by the weather.

Not that I can't still have people over to listen to music and drink wine and beer. Still, though. I...

"Keep the spirits up with a smile
As we walk another mile
'Cause when the journey ends
We'll still be the best of friends.
-The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Pirate Ship" (vinyl-only bonus song from Question the Answers)

Someone from the Bosstones forum (the 737!) hooked us up with a higher-quality rip of this song recently. It's so, so great. It just reminds me why...

OK, before I decide to leave this site, I will make an attempt to be social. Or something. At the very least, I'd like to encounter people in the Boston area to go to punk and ska shows with. Or to clue me into the cool shit going down. Joinin' groups, bein' active, whoa hey.

Speaking of shows, I'm pissed I missed seeing Off With...

OK, I'm going to make an effort to use this blasted blog more. Because obviously, between LiveJournal and my website (GDTS, yo. Check it.), I don't have enough blogs.

Well, to recap events of the last... long time.

I continue to move on up at work and get better at my job. I seemed to have narrowly avoided being forced into a job...

You know what's awesome? The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. In particular, their Hometown Throwdown shows. I went to 3 of the 4 they performed at the Middle East Nightclub in Cambridge, MA this year, and it was incredible. If my friends and I hadn't had our Luxury Party (pics at my flickr) on Saturday, I would have gone to all four. Such an incredible live show!

I got a box in the mail yesterday that contained the following CDs:

- Let's Go Bowling - Freeway Lanes
- Satori - Savor Every Moment
- Coquettish - High Energy Politics
- Potshot - 'Til I Die
- Chris Murray - The 4-Track Adventures
- Potshot - Dance to the Potshot Record
- Link 80 - s/t
- King Apparatus - Marbles
- Link...

Agy said be sure to update, so here goes

When Last We Spoke, I was going to Riot Fest in Chicago. Well, Chicago was a fucking BLAST! The weather was perfect the whole time (sunny, 70s), my cousin was fun to hang out with (of course), and the show was incredible. I got to see all the bands I wanted to, plus see some bands...

Whoa what's up SG? It's been a while.

I've been collecting vinyl like a fiend of late. And just acquiring a whole shit-ton of music. For the record, The Gaslight Anthem's sophomore effort, The '59 Sound, is the best record of the year. Just accept this. It's totally awesome. It's funny how obsessed with them I've become, having only heard of them in December,...
