hey raul! i noticed we had similar music tastes, and was therefore interested in your take on my music. I really value the opinions of people who like almost the exact bands that I do. bon iver = definitely one of my favorites, if not my favorite.
It was cool bumping into you yesterday at the Hammer museum. What did you think of the show? I didn't like the first band...the second one was ok, but my friend and I left at 10 because we were tired! We might try to go to another show or two. Its a cool venue. Maybe we'll see you there again, or I'll see you at a TNT thing in the future. Take care!
