Yesterday a manager of mine told me that a conference call for upper management centered around me, after a ludicrous sales day I had on Tuesday. They talked to my manager about what I was doing and what other stores could learn from me. The guy running the call didn't ask for my insight personally, though. Corporations are funny.

The Wedding Present — Dalliance
O.k., this one may be a little whiny which is the antithesis of rock week, but I love how it builds up at the end, basically matching the singer’s anger. So it’s angry, not whiny.

July 17, 2013: Two Days Off Now?
It's funny how quickly I start needing Twins baseball again after the All-Star Game. Even in a season like this.
Built to Spill — Stop The Show
One of the greatest live acts out there. Believe me with three guitarists, BTS has only one setting: Rock!

July 16, 2013: Aw Snap
Last night the Milkmaid blindsided me by letting me know that she's experiencing a couple of things that, last time, turned out to mean she was pregnant. It would be...not impossible for this to be the case. Not sure how I feel about this.
