click the image for download! this is a great spring/summer/sunny in-transit mix.

just back from an all get out/dead confederate/kevin devine/MO show at the northstar! kevin and manchester put on really great sets. unfortunately, it was severely coloured by the girl who a) was taller than me and stood directly in front of the group i was in after having pushed through and b) gave her boyfriend a handjob in front of me during "cotton crush." then they were tongue-wrestling -- literally; this isn't some clever way to say making out because their lips weren't touching -- and she looked me in the eye. i almost cried.

WHO DOES THAT SHIT???

on thursday night, i went to see the cobra starship show at the trocadero theatre. it was great! cobra was hilarious. at one point, gabe gave a shout-out to my chemical (b)romance because ryland said something inappropriate and gabe responded, "we can't do that. you know what they do to guys like us in prison!" jersey love, kids. the river runs deep. anyway. the whole point of this post is to talk about the very first opening act, with whom i have become acquainted (their music, at least; also, read as: fallen in love with) over the summer:

SING IT LOUD.

there was a point during the month of august where i was listening to one of their songs, come around, about 10 times a day because i would listen to it on my own, and then when i got in the car helluvalot would put it on repeat in a not-so-subtle way.

you should all love them like i do.

THIS MAY NOT BE DIAL-UP FRIENDLY EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE ONLY 25 PHOTOS.

( here is why you should love them. )

( here's the music if you want to skip the introduction. )

CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE: most of these photos were taken by a guy by the name of collin hughes. he's a music photographer and (seemingly) a friend of the band, and he deserves all of the credit in the world for his lovely photographs. check out his flickr here!

the rest of the photos were from their photoblogs (that they link to on their myspace) or from random image searches that i did. if any of these are yours and you do not want me posting them or want me to give credit, please let me know!

in summation: their music is so fun, guys.

This time maybe not a complete shot in the dark?

Does anyone have "Faded" by Soul Decision that they could upload for me? I'd be more than happy to reciprocate. It's been stuck in my head for days and yet I don't actually own it.

Does anyone have any music by Kate Nash? I'm pretty much looking for the song "Foundations," but if anyone has anything else I'd totally appreciate it.
