Bad Books continues to be amazing, and so does EP Part III.

"Crooked days come bundled up in bunches
They break your brain like a branch
And push you out here asking after for something
you should know I don’t have

If I had it you wouldn’t have to ask
If I had it you wouldn’t have to ask

Later on when you bargain with your mirror
and you ask is it really that bad

If it wasn’t you wouldn’t have to ask
If it wasn’t you wouldn’t have to ask

How could you know if you didn’t?
What’s left to say when your tongue’s turned to ash?
Well I tell you you’re finally forgiven
So you wouldn’t have to ask

Shoot what’s left, slip inside your sinner smile
Another man in a mask

If you faced it you wouldn’t need a mask
If you meant it you wouldn’t need a mask
If I could fix you you wouldn’t have to ask
If I could help you you wouldn’t have to ask"
-You Wouldn't Have to Ask

I sang "A Long December" by Counting Crows at open mic tonight (last night? I'm awake, so it's still tonight to me). It felt pretty great, and my friends liked it. I sat on a stool and shook my feet the whole time, and only messed up a little.

Might try some Brand New next week. We'll see.

Can we talk about Bad Books for a second? Andy Hull + Kevin Devine = wonderful collaboration. Still swallowing the album, only heard a few tracks yet, but I like.

It seems more poppy than Manchester Orchestra, and I'm not (sadly) too familiar with Devine's catalog save for a few songs, but I know he's a pretty well-known dude.

Good morning, with new Lovedrug.

Okay, it's not morning. But it's my first day off in forever, and I slept in.

It's been a long time since I've devoted some real attention to my blog, and all I can think of is that I never knew Foo Fighters covered "Band on the Run" till I heard it on the radio today. And it was actually pretty awesome.
