    Seeing Sara Watkins singing with The Decemberists just makes me love her even more. And vise versa.

    Decembrists and Death Cab made this metalhead an acoustic folkie. Such original cool songs. Millionaire by Slaid Cleaves is another cool jam.

      w0mbles year of the cat.........err tiger but forgot what I was going for there...or my interpretation of the lyrics I was programmed with....but yeah year of the tiger.......aslo had something to do with meds and how there distrubted...but the Mayan calendar and it being so close close enough to predict turmoil other Faith's might have...endolusian fuck how did I spell it that ment something to trigger a thought line to.....but I rather kinda they left at least the safe haven save heaven crap as it was stuff to research when more internet content arouse...looked up Buffalo migration once but wanted to know how much it effected the spreading eco systems pushed it back and weather patterns over time.....also weird hi lo and what I could produce to create a near static area........also the off chance they make a nice place for me.
      With all the alone in a trailer kinda reminded the part that used to be dormant thinking about all the goings on....

    You guys still owe me $80 from when your shit was stolen in Austin back in 2000-ish and a bunch of us from out of town donated money to get you guys back your gear. (Obviously kidding that I care about the money, we're all adults now lol). Very fun watching you! And good memories.

    @poocoop Well, official histories claim it was during the War of 1812, right after the Skirmish of Battle Creek where a division of rabid bulbasaurs was defeated by George Washington's less renown younger brother Christopher J. Washington, who -by the way- miraculously lived to the age of 176 when he was shot in a duel over obscure matters involving snails, some very comfy crochet hats and renegade privateering in the waters of North Carolina.
