"let me leave this grieving sand and sky far behind."

I'm still in the grips of a terrible week full of work and sadness. Okay, okay, life is not that bad. I'm actually a pretty happy dude, save for the paper I'm writing and not having very much fun with. However, with the weekend comes happiness, especially this weekend. those in the know know why. in the mean time, something else I love, a human named John Darnielle, just played a show the other night, and dear geez here's the set list:

CAN YOU SAY HOLY FREAKING GOD!? because I know I can. This fellow OVER HERE recorded and is hosting the mp3s over at his site. I'll let him get a few more hits rather than steal his thunderous thundering. Oh, I also stole the pic from his site too.

Album reviews next week by the bucket load. I know I've got more than a few I've promised to have done, and it's time to fulfill that shizzle. Now you know what I'll be listening to for the rest of the weekend, however.
