I would like to start off by telling you a simple fact. My friends are better than yours. Im not sure if they can kick your friends' asses, but they are overwhelmingly rad. The Birthday weekend was one of the best ive had in a while. Putt-putt, good food, good company, good drinks....wrapping it up with a hilarious dance party night on sunday which included my new homeless friend Perry. Ive been rehearsing bass for playing with Statistics as well as my own set. I never feel like i know how to properly rehearse. Im more of a learn in the trenches kinda guy. October/November is always the birthday/traveling scramble. Must be the whole 9 to 10 months after Valentines Day theory. And on the subject of theories, i have heard the greatest album of next year. Its not finished yet, but when it is it will make you see that Crap Your Pants And say Yea horseshit for what it is. Keep an eye out for Van Occupanther by Midlake. Its gonna drop your jaw. And ill be honest, i havent been a Midlake fan prior to hearing this.
