Wednesday

hats off to boxbomb...

on the occasion of the release of their new 7-track "golden ep."

*sigh* it's so pretty; i wish you all could see it - complete with lyrics written in ryan's (i'm guessing, since it's definitely not rob's) scrawl, underneath the disc.

got home a little while ago from their show at the cradle with sleepsound (with whom i was not terribly impressed), classic case (lovely to see, as always), and io (for whom i did not stay, and have never heard; and about whom, therefore, i have nothing to say in an ironic number of words). boxbomb, though, just keeps getting better and better. they sounded amazing tonight (except for rob's vocals being a bit sharp at one point - and as he so aptly put it, better sharp than flat). so absolutely incredible. i seriously feel privileged to know these guys. i swear, someday i'm going to be impressing people i know by telling them, "yeah - we go way back. i used to work at a coffee shop with a couple of those guys, back when they were just getting started..."

anyway. that's my plug for boxbomb. if you get a chance, you should get out and see them sometime. or at the very least listen to their record...

This is why I surround myself with awesome people. It's always a good feeling to just be able to say "Oh, me? Yeah, I'm with them". (; Then again, being me is pretty awesome too. I mean, I wouldn't trade me in for anybody else. Would you?



p.s. I have seen it and yes, it is pretty.

Yay for Alyssa, yay for her blog. We wants Alyssa posts.

It will be very nice to see you in church, as you've been working or I've been at camp or something for the past 4,000 weeks or so. I'd rather chat about Boxbomb over a styrofoam cup of Swiss Miss than comment about Boxbomb on the World Wide Web.

i know you've seen it. i showed it to you. (:

mmmmm. swiss miss. sounds good. i'll be in the sound booth.

and thanks for the comments, guys. sorry about the rant, but every once in awhile i just need to.

The George said...

Sure thing.

Every once in a while I need to rant about FROGS AND HOW THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!

...just kidding, I like frogs ok.

Maybe I'll rant about... cars? They're everywhere.

Maybe old men. There are a lot of them. ...or how bout just men?

YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM WITH THE WORLD?? IT'S ALL THESE MEN!!

hehe.

am i a dog that i should respond to the likes of "sit!" or "post!"? i think not. i'll post when i have something to say. you have seen the results of my posting on demand: they are usually pretty depressing. so let's let me do this on my own time, shall we? my parents are in town. i've been hanging out with them. which is cool, but nothing exactly postworthy. end of story.

The George said...
