After two long weeks, I return to the sounds of Widower and Chad Vangaalen

Have a happy start to the new year, kiddos, for life is far too short and far too many decisions lay ahead that will one day be insignificant-

My punctuation is odd, I know...but I am my audience.

Thank 2008 for many things I don't want to remember; for all kinds of amazing, terrifying, and beautiful things; for things I'll probably one day remember as just one of those middle years...

I want to remember.

The sound shores, the spacey skyline, the old stacks on the calm coast, is that the future?

The Strip, the lights, the 10, head-on collisions and the derailing of the evening commute are a life I will come back to.

Bless the others, they save me and understand what only I fail to recognize.

The window open, the cold air, the warm night, the lovers

I at times love where we've been and look to where we're going...
...I can't help but wondering if we've been here before

don't let it get to your head.



The Decemberists are set to ignite the world with their new one.

M83 is doing their thing with the LA Phil in March.

We're there.
