Lemon yellow blog.
Today ruled for so many reasons. Let me list 'em off:
1. I got to go out to lunch with my friend Masa, who runs the awesome Japanese label Kick Rock Music. As well as putting out some of the best punk bands Japan currently has to offer, Kick Rock is also the Japanese home to Valencia, Four Year Strong, Every Avenue and a host of other American bands. Although we only got to spend a few hours together, it was great to catch up all about the American and Japanese punk scenes, to see where they align and where they differ. Thanks for stopping in Cleveland, Masa!
2. I got to see the always amazing Person L tonight, who made me completely giddy. They played five or six songs from Initial as well as three or four new songs, one of which was a shoutout to Fugazi. Kenny (er, sorry, Kenneth) -- you are so goddamn talented, dude. I can't wait to hear the next record. I love your band.
3. Even though I unfortunately missed Mock Orange (who were inexplicably forced to open the show, even though there was a local band -- WTF mate?), I did catch Oakland rock foursome Audrye Sessions, who were very impressive in a early-Radiohead sort of way. Plus, Shawn Harris from the Matches designed one of their T-shirts and is doing the layout for their full-length (which comes out next year). If that's not a ringing artistic endorsement, I don't know what is.
4. In the middle of this rock onslaught, my super-sweet girlfriend found a super-sweet deal on a super-sweet snowblower online and ordered me one, all via text message (what a gal, seriously). You may scoff at my excitement, but you try shoveling yourself out of a Cleveland winter sometime -- you'll be begging for this mean machine.
5. I absolutely crushed Tim "Big Haircut" Karan in his little fantasy football league (and I did it with Justin Gage on the bench!).
And that's just the tip of the ol' iceberg. Oh, did I mention that I got the Two Tongues CD from Vagrant the other day and it fucking rules? Because it does.
Life rules, man.

To add to life ruling,

well, of course you did.
but it still rules beyond all comprehension.
Two Tounges.....I want that NOW!
This has what to do with the blog title?!? ;)
I saw Person L when Chiodos and Motion City Soundtrack came to Columbus a month or two ago, and they are amazing! and they're super nice to talk with as well! =]
