Hiya gang. I got back from our Easter Vigil after only 3 hours (I’m Catholic, what can I say) so I figured that I should post something for you all to enjoy. >>A very cool fellow from The Decemberists message board, Steve Goldberg, has some songs that I think you’ll like. He’s witty, he’s a [...]

…almost as much as I love UK. Two guys are trying to get donations to travel to Austin to see the University of Kentucky Wildcats win it all. Turns out that one of them just so happens to be the brother of one of my good friends. Crazy, crazy kids. Support the Cause

I posted about this band a while back, but was unable to find a copy of this song. Well, today when I was browsing around CD Central, they played this track. I completely forgot about it. So using my newfound mp3 searching abilities (i.e. Exploseek) I found a copy of it for you, the public. [...]
