Please Drive Faster

Songs in my head:
"Please Drive Faster" by Braid
"Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over)" by the Four Tops
"Sister Surround" by the Soundtrack of Our Lives

Did a little research and found out the two people in my dream are not married in real life. I just don't understand why these people turned up in a dream. I had not seen either one in years. So this is what having sinus congestion does to your brain . . .

I picked this up last night just for the At the Drive-In performance. There are a lot of great bands and performances on here (Ash and Foo Fighters especially pop out), but seeing "One Armed Scissor" is a great reminder as to why this band was just so incredible. I already jotted some notes in paragraph form last night . . .

We saw The John Sparrow again last night. The Shapes opened with a mostly acoustic set since Chuck couldn't play with them, but it was a nice alternate view. TJS kicked a lot of ass and even more than last weekend's performance. I was right up at front and the feeling/danger/excitement of possibly being hit by a mic stand or a guitar tuning peg was in full effect. In other words, I had a very good time.

Ian Curtis' life will be made into a movie, reports the NME. Start hedging your bets as to who could play him . . .

This guy is the new Lex Luthor for the upcoming Superman movie. Start imagining him without hair. . .

Why not Josh Groban? I mean, his last record was called Closer. . .

It's been a year since I moved away from Lakewood, and even though I could relocate to a new place as a newly-single guy, I've chosen to stay where I am. I enjoy living in North Dallas/Richardson given its central location, being not too far away from places I have enjoyed going to in my fourteen-plus years living in Dallas County. Living in Lakewood for nine years was critical for me, but I am glad I don't have homeless people going through my garbage, my street getting shut down like it's Mardi Gras on Halloween night, and I don't have to answer to the not-so-friendly landlords who bought my old place. I have a new housemate moving in at the end of the month and I have many reasons to be excited as he's been a friend for many years. Couple that with a humongous  new record store opening in nearby Farmers Branch , shows to see, and a quick trip to Los Angeles for something very cool (for which I reveal at a later date) and I'm happy to say fall is sha...
