KFC - m4m - 21


Date: 2010-02-24, 12:41AM EST


My friend was craving KFC earlier tonight around 6. We came through the drive-thru. She's always indecisive, so it took us awhile to order. You were really helpful. We ended up ordering three number five's, one with no drink. You made my friend's night, because she asked for a lot of ketchup and you gave her 30 packets. You were tall with short black/dark brown hair and an awesome smile. I was driving a white buick lesabre. If, by some amazing chance, you happen to read this, please email me. I'd love to get together for coffee sometime.

I hope to hear from you soon.

P.S. If you do see this and reply, please put "Ketchup Bandit" in the subject line.

I love Craigslist SO much.

If I had to pick...


Jason Collett is one of my very favorite members of that ridiculously talented Broken Social Scene collective. His alt-country leanings have always made him my single favoirte soloist in the group...not that I play favorites, but his voice is the one which I most connect with. Mr. Collett has a brand new record coming out called 'Rat a Tat Tat' on March 9th.

Here is one from the new record, followed by my all time favorite tune of his....

Cataract


My poor little music blog is having trouble keeping up with all of the amazing music that is coming my way...best sort of problem to have, I know. I have been listening to and loving the new White Hinterland album for like a week now, and I haven't gotten around to blurbing about it yet.

Casey Dienel's precious vocals soar through the atmospheric, almost trip-hoppy at times, soundscapes on the new record, 'Kairos.' It's sort of hard to break this one up and just play one song because the LP flows so perfectly when listened to in long form. But here is a sample of the sonic goodness that is ever-present on the disc.

A record to get lost with


I love the rugged, road weary voice that Kristian Mattson - aka The Tallest Man On Earth - croons with. His delivery lends an intsant dash of credibility to those folk songs about the ramblin' life that he is so fond of writing.

Sitting here listening to his latest record, 'The Wild Hunt' and wanderlust is totally setting in...behold, the power of song.

Coachella Artist O'the Day: 44 Days To Go


I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Portugal The Man are definitely my favorite rock band ever from the great state of Alaska. I have always appreciated the way the band is able to seamlessly shift styles from song to song, without ever sounding like they are trying to hard. Their brand new, soon to be released album 'American Ghetto' seems to be the most soul inflected stuff they have ever recorded...I am digging it.

Coachella Artist O'the Day: 45 Days To Go


Today's Coachella artist of the day is a real up-and-comer...remember his name, this kid may just do OK in the music business.

When the stage lights go dim


We don't have much here in Columbus,OH...but we do have one of the finest songwriters around and somebody who is probably as close to Paul Westerberg as my generation is ever gonna get. His name is Micah Schnabel. I have blogged oodles of times about my love for his band, Two Cow Garage, and I just wanted to take a second to plug his brand new solo record, 'When The Lights Go Dim.'

It's a killer LP, full of songs that are full of heart. Absolutely NO filler here...every word has a purpose, every chord has a point to make. And...there is a Replacements cover.
