Hi guys. I registered to run in the NYC Race for the Cure on September 13, in Central Park. My grandmother and aunt both had (and thankfully were able to beat) breast cancer, so I have some personal ties to this important cause.

Last night a friend texted me on a whim, and I ended up at the last Harvey Danger show, probably possibly ever. John Hodgman introduced them, and they played for two hours and forty minutes. I am not too familiar with the music of Harvey Danger, but I really enjoyed their show. I plan to acquaint myself more with their stuff. I missed the first opener, but I liked the second one a lot… they are called Jukebox the Ghost. Their style reminded me slightly, very slightly of Ben Folds Five.

Someone tooootally awesome bestowed unto me the new Why? album, Eskimo Snow, this morning. I will start off saying I enjoy it very much, but it’ll take some easing into for me, learning to love it as I’ve loved their previous albums. Though the sound is still distinctly Why?, there is a marked departure from their stylings in Elephant Eyelash and Alopecia.
Yoni Wolf gives some perspective in this interview.
Good stuff, kids!
This looks *in* *sane*.
