np: "blue" - ryan adams

i'm going through one of my loving the shit out of Ryan Adams phases. i stumbled across several of his unreleased albums on soulseek tonight and i am taking full advantage of them. there's a lot of good stuff out there yet to be released, but hopefully the album and two EPs due out by the end of the year will rectify some of that. i know there seems to be a backlash against him in the indie community, but i don't get the whole thing. yeah, he can be a prick and he's VERY hit or miss with his tunes, but goddamn that's rock and roll for you. those are the things i love about him.... he's off some of the time, but when he's on - motherfucker is ON.

and in other news, GO CUBS!! first postseason series win since 1908, bring on the Marlins. Wood and Prior are both tearin' shit up this postseason and i am confident as hell in this team. Sosa hasn't been producing for shit yet, but the rest of the team is stepping up - and that's what makes a championship team.

and for those keeping score at home.. it's been over a month and things are going excellent with the girl i've been seeing. we had a great weekend, watching the Cubs and seeing the excellent School of Rock. (which i highly recommend, by the way) and she's actually excited about meeting my family next weekend. so i guess things are looking pretty good for now.
