since i last mogged. But there seems much more to rant about now.2007 seems to be a pretty exciting musical year. New Bright Eyes, Arctics, Ryan Adams, Willy Mason, Arcade Fire, Nizlopi, Bjork, and even the mighty mighty Radiohead may grace us with a new album. a return to their rock roots? an album of 3 minute pop wonders? dont hold your breath.Of course, theres still a fuck load to moan about.Na

I was getting looks. I l
