Who taught you to live like that?

In the duldrums of summer and post NS depression a new Sloan single has got things a buzzing. I think the song is catchy as hell and very different. It is making me more excited for the trip to go see them in August. I just seem to not get so wound up before hand like I did when I was younger. Too many other pressures to dwell on I guess. Just like with Melissa prior to NS, getting details worked out with PPF is making me more excited also. I seem to feed off my friend's excitement. I think this trip just signals the end of summer as the kids arrive a week after I get back. Summer goes by too damn fast!

Just a spark

I hear the Church tour is acoustic which is kinda a bummer. I am sure they will be great anyway! It is this Saturday!
I am trying to hear the new Sloan single on the radio, I don't know why I am trying CFOX, they failed me on Matt last year. Now CFOX is talking about alexisfire new material. sigh..
My last dream before I got up today I was in some living room and MArk and Sergie form Platinum Blonde were there. I told Mark I could promote their upcoming show at The Church show. He was all happy and impressed then started kissing me and pushing me into the bedroom...then I woke up-LOLOLOLOL Now there is Maple Musings!

I finished my travel journal for the most part-Check out the LJ for rest.(Link in last couple of entries)

It's your hairclip, my heart rips... THE KATIES are back together!

I have to SHOUT! I found out last night while screwing around on the internet that The Katies are back together. I had them in my list of bands I only got two recordings out of but adore- NO More! They have a new record coming out this year plus I just found a ton of downloads of rarities. I went from post NS blues this weekend to overjoyed. The Katies are a band Dan and I discovered together while still engaged and we have shared their music so many times plus he sings them the best. I guess it is a heart warming thought that Dan and I have that to share together again. I was so excited I had dreams about it last night. Funny what music can do for you!
The releases coming out this year is unbelievable. Of course I have learned of some many new bands thanks to XM all Cancon channnel but then add my big boys in the mix- Already a fantastic Jon Auer record, The City and Colour disc I love the Mobile CD and then Blossoms in August and Sloan in Sept plus possible Matt Good, Loverboy and now the Katies- It is one heck of a great year in music. My favorite songs so far this year include "Save your sissors"- City and Colour and "Skinny Boy" - Amy Millan (Yes that would be a female singer)"out of my head" - Mobile. I haven't heard the Blossoms single enough yet but it sounded pretty darn good. Gee, then there is the Cinderpop and Quinzy records oh and MIR..I will definatly have a top 25 Cds this year!
OK i had to rant on The Katies for a minute. I will try to finish my NS trip blogging later. I came home to a corrupt driver in the home computer so I finally have it back tonight. Dan has to work at night so I will try to stop playing with slideshows on My Space long enough to finish my trip blog. :)
