this is my car. in roughly 12 hours the family and i will be making the laborious 12 hour trek from my adopted home of atlanta, ga to the city of my birth and raising chicago, il. the last time we took this trip during the holiday season, it took us 48 hours. it was hell on earth. luckily it looks like baby jesus is going to have pity on my delicate soul and give us at least half way decent driving weather. if you, dear person, could through some decent vibeage my way so we make it there in one piece, it would be greatly appreciated. it just maybe your only ticket into heaven.

without much further ado, here is my top 9 records of the year, lovingly handcrafted into haiku form.
10.

Meadow

super gay for him

i wish records were longer

a boy can dream right

9.

To the Races

sounds like winter night

like a walk down dark alley

in some southern town
8.

Anders Parker

moved out to la

to be honest i was scared

dont know why i was

7.

The Greatest

i expected more

like a whole big production

the greatest could have

6.

Everything All the Time

5.

We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions

we shall all be bored

nice to find a pulse still left

4.

Boys and Girls in America

its like a party

i wish i got all the jokes

3.

Rebels, Rogues & Sworn Brothers

springsteen on your ass

2.

Fort Recovery

songs about assholes

a minor classic

    I’d kinda fallen out of touch with Buckner. Thanks for the heads up. Travel safely and I hope I get to see you in ’07.
