Going to go visit my friend who’s recording at BJB soon. Apparently Pivot were in the studio wasted as recording their new album. Hopefully they are still there today.

Guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López is left handed, and as I stated before, if you’re left handed then you’re instantly awesome for...
Sick going to see Laurels, Cabins and Parades.

Cabins are the only band you will ever have to care about for the rest of your life. Lucky, lucky you. I have to wait till March.
