If there were any justice in the world, Beating Hearts Baby would have had the kind of lifespan Mr. Brightside does.

I honestly expected a more experimental/noise kinda vibe because of that. Funny how that happens.

I'm finally checking out that Rosali record from last year. A good example of the cover making me think it'd be something it isn't.

an older kid I kinda new in high school always used Blues for the Red Sun as a screen name for everything (aol, myspace, etc). Never knew it was a Kyuss reference, which sucks cause I could have spent so much more time listening to Kyuss.

No idea what happened to him, hope he's well.

ah dang, this sucks. One of the biggest reasons Youtube TV's unlimited DVR is so clutch is I record literally everything on the MTV music video channels then zoom through commercials while I work, even though like 10% of the videos played are Mr Big's To Be With You.
