Just wanted to drop some love! Hope you two had a great time in Yakima! You're not going to hear to much from me the next week or so. I'm locking myself up in my bedroom and going into a coma. Vegas knocked the bottom out of me like a scene from rump ryders!!! lol Really though. Talk to you guys when I do...

Love,

Brad~

Sep 7 2008 11:17 AM

i totally can pin, what the vocals of this band sounds like. Besides like a billy corgan/michael stype mixture. The local band, eh in the movie high fidelity. The alternative one, that john cusack's charc. ends up producing a record for.
Thats it!
Brad
