Cool, haven't the slightest idea about any of them.

Edit to say: why am I getting a Sunny Day Real Estate vibe from the bottom pic? Lol, could be entirely offbase, but like I said, I have no idea about any of these three. Once I have another beer and get sick of my current two song-playlist of Fitz And The Tantrums' "Out of My League" and Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" I'll venture into the realm of the unfamiliar

A 3D Musical Experience of the Universe

20 years ago today, just 9 days after being awarded a gold record for his hit Hey Jealousy, Doug Hopkins, founder of the Gin Blossoms, put a .38 caliber pistol in his mouth and ended his life at the age of 32.

Here is his song to the woman he almost married:

It is ridiculously good.

Uninterestingly, I got into a fist-fight long ago with the quarterback at Carnegie Mellon University because of an argument over whether this guy :



was gay (his favorite band, and he was being mean at gay people so I had sufficient justification*). I feel like I am an anachronism now. Fighting the good fight with words** just doesn't have nearly the same satisfactory crunch to it. I'm afraid that I'm:



Song brings tears to my eyes.

*I miss days where sufficient justification was sufficient justification.

**on the internets making it even less manly.

Don't pretend man

The 80s can't have been an easy decade
