Ah, the power of the 'bearded altbro'...do not underestimate this term, lovies. I just want to point out right quick the irony from last Friday, from when I wrote, that I talked about seeing this man in concert but didn't think I would be able to...

2008-07-10T21:37:46Z

One day I will see this band in person, all six, even if it fucking kills me and I have to take away Bobby's crack pipe. Or something. I hung out with Miles at the station after the Tilly show on Tuesday, and we talked about how we could potent...

So many things, so little time

2008-06-26T21:49:37Z
