I love this song. That’s all I really have to say about it.

I like to make these for my buds in my free time. Since these are used for posting on the internet, Myspace, etc, the objective is to have large text that is readable in thumbnail form. They are often supplemental to more specific information, like links to tickets and show times.

UPDATE 7-31-09: Sadly, Dennis and Pon had to close up shop this year. Here’s to its memory…
Yay! What a nice little surprise. One of the (vegan) food blogs I read, To Live and Eat in LA, is doing a series of reviews in Portland, Oregon. Today, they reviewed my cousin’s restaurant, Kinta.
I got [...]
i did it! and it was fun.
here i am on Pitchfork:
I didn’t have the time or will to change the front head of the kick drum, so it remained as shameless as the day. “What band do you play in?” *point* I think the only other drummer that boasted their band name on their kick [...]
