Aldous Harding's new album just dropped, but I couldn't find any new vids. This should be fine though.

Sunday, or another, I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya
Sunday…
We've been debating spring break for a couple months or more. It wasn't pretty. There were a couple nervous breakdowns. We didn't reach consensus and action until Friday, finally settled on itinerary and accommodations. There was a lot of booking and cancelling. We leave Monday.
We feel ridiculous, mostly, at our planning disfunction, but are hopeful for a little fun and relaxation along the beach for a few days. We don't do this, really, so wish us luck.
(Also, best comment I saw on the Jimmy Buffet YouTube: "Being 20 in the Seventies was a lot more fun than being 70 in the Twenties")

I was never much of an Oasis guy, but was the right age for some Blink-182. I can work with this.
