So I got my copy of A Certain Feeling in the mail today. It's a fantastic album, obviously, but what I'd like to point out is the fact that the disc itself features the greatest drawing of a mustache I've ever seen in my entire life.
and thank you for having us! congrats on the cd, And YES, that is my gold capo!! thanks so much for picking that up. Just lemme know the best way to get it from you
You guys ruled it last night!! M, hope your foot heals quickly. And to Jesse, Let's hope this new guy packs a case of "kick ass" in his suitcase. He's gonna need it to fill your shoes. All the best to you and your new plans...The rest of yous..have a blast on tour, see you when you get home.
By far the greatest show I've seen from you guys live and best show I've seen in LA yet.
I hadn't seen you live since the downtown park show. It seems like Meredith's voice has completely transformed into this thick, all-new, full beast of beauty. Love it. Congrats.
