Worth getting up for in February: Pam coming to visit; college baseball season starting; pitchers and catchers; overtime Canes wins; solving important world problems at 6 am on a Monday (baseball > hockey); having someone understand why you have to follow one song about Baltimore with Gram Parsons doing “The Streets Of Baltimore”; a whole bunch of albums that, technically, have April release dates; the Black Keys’ Brothers (again; still); Dave Hause’s Resolutions, holy crap; the temperatures rising up into the 70s; the Cowboy’s new album; my super awesome smartphone; interviewing Jim Avett; watching meganwest pull off her amazing GRAMMYs campaign; DevMem; the nearly 2-hour All Songs Considered on 90s music, which was amazing and made me feel old; Mike Ness interviewing Lucero.
Can we all just agree that February blew, for the most part, and move on to March? Because the last ten days of February felt like a whole year of being punched in the face and so far March is better. Ish.
No one’s blog is ever going to be as much about Mike Ness as mine is, but man, how much do I love that he remains worth getting up for! I feel my stockholming job here is done. \o/
