You guys,

I slept on my neck super weird last night and I can't turn my head as easily as i'd like. I suspect this will put a hamper in my viewing of the tennis match I'm going to tonight. (Ha. I'm hilarious).

Anyway. Here are songs I played last night:

Hey folks,

So last night, we took a break from our regularly scheduled program of Pavement and awkward jokes to do a show featuring nothing but female vocalists. I think we all had a good time. Well...at least I had a good time. And I'm the only person I can be sure listened to the whole show, so I guess my opinion counts the most. Anyway, here's all the sweet lady-sung tunes we played:
