Jacob Giles – “How Do You Smile?”

Video 3 Comments

This is my oldest male cousin Jacob. He's four years younger than me. My oldest cousin is his big sister. Often times when we got together when we were younger, the girls - my little sister and his big sister - would always play together, and Jacob and I would play together. I haven't seen as much of him as an adult as I would like, but we're working on seeing each other more often.

This is an original work of his. I'm really proud of him not only for his talent, but having the guts to put himself out there like this. I couldn't imagine opening myself up like that for the world to see.

Jack Johnson – “Sitting, Waiting, Wishing”

Video 1 Comment

If you'll indulge me, I've deviated from our live version habits because this video holds a place in my heart.

Boring personal stuff after the jump, if you feel like subjecting yourself to it. Continue reading Jack Johnson – “Sitting, Waiting, Wishing” →

A very good friend of mine from my time in Prauge is the fella on the right in the flatcap and guitar. He's currently in one of, if not the, biggest bluegrass bands in South Korea.

Guy Clark – “Dublin Blues”

Video 2 Comments

Back in July, I went down to Tennessee for my (3rd out of 4) little cousin's wedding. While I was down there, I really got to reconnect with my oldest little cousin (We're both the oldest in our respective families, but she is, as I like to teasingly remind her, 1 year, 10 months, and 6 days younger than me). Anyway, she told me to look up this song when I got home. I did, and there was something familiar about it in the deep recesses of my mind, but I couldn't figure out what exactly. Then she told me that we used to listen to Guy Clark, and this song in particular, together a lot when we were younger and got to see each other a few times a year. It was really nice to be reminded of when we were closer, and it's gotten regular rotation since.

The Hold Steady – “Massive Nights”, “Slapped Actress”, “Chips Ahoy!” & “Runner’s High”

Video 3 Comments

Let's kick this week off right. FTLT and I were at this concert back in June, and judging from the video not too far from the person taking this. The weather was terrible all day, but broke about 30 minutes before the Hold Steady went on. The show ended up being awesome, though the whiskey and singing along meant I couldn't talk very well for a few days.

Beat The Streak – 57 Hitters Edition

23 Comments

I thought I'd keep this here instead of clogging the CoC or game log. Here's the leaderboard:

If you'd like to help me keep everything updated, which I can assure you will be very much appreciated, the link is here. Simply go to the "HitQuery" sheet at the bottom and change the "N" to a "Y" when someone on the list gets a hit. The spreadsheet will take care of the rest and the above scoreboard will auto-update.
