Here is another great song from the Veronica Mars soundtrack.

It is Valentines Day once again. As I have said before, I really have no feelings one way or another about the day. Some people love it, some people hate it. So in honor the divisiveness of the holiday, I am going to share two songs. And since no one does heartbreak like a country singer the first song is Valentine by The Old 97s.

And as a counterpoint, the second song is one of my favorites by the Damned, Love Song.

Gonna go see the Old 97's tonight! Should be awesome.

This year marks the 15 year anniversary of the Old 97s album Too Far To Care, and they are doing an amazing tour to celebrate it. Their set will consist of Rhett Miller opening as a solo act, another opening band (Those Darlins, I believe, at least at the show I am going to), Old 97s performing Too Far To Care in it's entirety and then another full set on top of that. I am so freaking excited, especially since I will be going to the second show of the tour and the band will still be energetic and excited about the show, 'cause man, that is an awful lot of playing every night. Here is my favorite song off of Too Far To Care, "Barrier Reef."

I live in a state of Texas

I got to see the Old 97's this past week, and it was a great show. The show was outside in Deep Ellum in Dallas with the stage framing the Dallas skyline. This is one of the songs they played, and hearing it while looking at the Dallas skyline lit up at night was something I think only a Texan could truly appreciate. Hope you enjoy it.

Dallas Observer Music Awards

Going to the Dallas Observer Music Awards this afternoon and I am pretty pumped. The headliners are The Toadies, Old 97's, Centro-Matic, and Sarah Jaffe. Should be a pretty awesome show. Here is one song I hope to hear today.

A taste of the good life

Today is how I imagine Sunday's would be if I had a real job. Hanging out with friends, cooking good food and having a great time. I'm fortunate enough to have a Sunday off (I honestly can't remember the last time this happened) so I get to help my friend celebrate his birthday. Gonna make some good food and spend time with people I love to be around. Not only that, the weather is beautiful outside. Today's song is by The Old 97s, who I get to see on the 15th at the Dallas Observer Music Awards. My sister introduced me to them when I was in high school and I have been a fan ever since.
