sears: Random record find of the day: double 7” from hurl (only $2), a Pittsburgh band that sounds like jawbox/slint/other DC/louisville bands. Their bassist subbed for slint on their first reunion tour, which is pretty neat. Nice work.  They’re really nice and talented guys.  Their later band Taking Pictures (3 of the 4 Hurl folks when they moved to Chicago) is good too and they came down to Louisville a couple times to play at 953 (which I booked) and Aslans How with Milemarker I think (which Noah was playing in at the time).  Nice find…I sold a few of their CDs at EarX a couple summers ago.  Good stuff.  I hear Mission of Burma in their tunes myself.

Shedding one sheet we whipped up for entering the Hullabalou concert contest at Churchill Downs.  Vega wrote a pretty awesome little bio!

Shedding covering Egg Hunt for the Endpoint show?  Would be fun…Tim was jamming this for us today at practice.

Jason Noble benefit shows…

So, Endpoint is reuniting and playing two shows.  The first on Saturday, May 15th (w/ Cerebellum and Face Value reuniting along with Kyle and Alex’s Interstates project) sold out so they added a Friday, May 14th show.  We’re opening along with Sunspring and Big Wheel reunions. 

It’s a bit silly in some ways with everyone reliving in the past but it will also be fun and more importantly the proceeds will all go to Jason Noble.  Hope some folks make it.  I’ve got my ticket to Saturday and now I’ll be there for both shows.

Well, she reacted as poorly as possible to my letter.  I guess I should have expected the worst.  Bummed regardless…maybe sometime if I’m still mulling over the situation I’ll post the letter - what’s the harm with sharing it with like 5 people.

The girl I was caught up in a year+ ago hurt me deeply and I never shared with her how I felt.  I think she wouldn’t have cared, because if she did she wouldn’t have led me on/lied to me/etc.   So what would have been the point?

I have been dating a wonderful girl for 6 months and that ended a couple weeks ago.  I’ve been dealing with the feelings for 2 weeks now I guess - and last night was sort of the culmination of my grief and I proceeded to write her a letter today.  It felt really good to get it all out.  I hope she reads it and doesn’t immediately dismiss my feelings.  I think I’m having trouble dealing with this one because I don’t feel like I was a part of the equation at all.  There are no lessons to learn or ways I will grow from this failed relationship.  It’s largely on her and that is upsetting that she couldn’t work through stuff and instead bailed.  Regardless, I think it really was important for my own sanity to express it.

Ben shared this on Facebook.  This album was probably the best of the year when it came out.  Cool to see them do it live!

This is hilarious.  I had no idea they were on Stern…

The unassuming rock dude is always something I really enjoyed about Hum and Helmet - two of my favorite bands in high school.  Didn’t look the part - but really could write a heavy tune!

should be there thommy. thommy: Tickets for the Endpoint reunion go on sale February 26th at 10:00 a.m. Endpoint was a hardcore/punk band from Louisville, KY whose music and message help shape me in my high school years. After they broke up in 1994 I went on to play in several bands with their singer Rob Pennington and when the idea of a reunion came up I was asked to play drums for it. I’m very excited for this. The show is a benefit for our extremely talent friend Jason Noble, whom is battling cancer.
