I missed the anniversary but nevertheless!

Aaron Seward's hand-painted music video for "The Year I Lived in Richmond" by Advance Base has been out in the world for a whole, big, terrible year.

Thank you Aaron for making beautiful magic.

The reason I do a Christmas tour is so I can play all of the songs I've written about Christmas. The whole show is Christmas. I think it would be misleading to call it anything other than a Christmas tour.

Doug is a better dog name than a cat name but Douglas is a better cat name than a dog name. However, Steve is a better cat name than a dog name while Stephen is a better dog name than a cat name. This opinion is 100% correct. Do not @ me.
