and this day will go down as the most beautiful day of the year...

years ago i went to see american analog set, one of my most favorite bands of all time, ever, (thank you aaron...) when they came through tucson on their Last Tour Ever.

i may or may not have cried.

after the show i walked up to andrew kenny and this was our conversation: 

me:  "i don't want to talk.  i just want to high-five you and turn around and walk away.  can we do that?"

that high-five is on my list of "top one coolest thing i've ever done."

so now it's years later, and it's 2:00 am, and i want to sleep, but i just found this.

and for the love of god, the album came out two hours ago.

i'm sorry phoenix.  i don't even care about may 26th any more.  my heart is a happy happy camper.

I LOVE American Analog Set. Punk as Fuck. Beautiful song.

i totally agree... it's one of those songs that i hear and then totally out of the middle of nowhere i'm EXACTLY where i was when i first heard it. (read: frozen in mid-"walking" motion, one foot in the air, my jaw on my bedroom floor, dangling th clean socks i was carting over to my dresser.)
oh yeah... and thinking "well, too bad -- decided he didn't want to be my boyfriend any more. i won't be telling him about THIS band."
