It's been years since I logged into this account, but I take strength from Mr. Chevron's music almost daily. Reading these messages from other fans has me tearing up and remembering him on stage, on albums and here, online. I know that I personally have benefitted from his kind words, his broad tale...

The Builders and the Butchers is another band from Portland, Oregon that I think you guys might like.

You can listen to a few tracks here: http://www.myspace.com/thebuildersandthebutchers maybe start with "Barcelona"?

wahoo! thanks.

there's a typo right here:

ok i see the powder blue options box but the only options listed are "do not automatically parse urls" and "notify me when a reply is posted"

i've got "yes" set on the "enable bbcode" option in the user control panel

sorry, how do i turn the BBCode on?

i don't see anything above the composition window and i don't see the "tooltip"

I think our friends from the UK like to use the phrase "cheeky bastard" to respond to such posts but I, being a demure and refined American, will refrain from such base expressions, you schmuck.

I read White Noise by Don DeLillo last week and it was amazing. I'm trying the first volume of Isaac Deutscher's three volume biography of Leon Trotsky. I can't remember the last time I read a biography so I have big hopes for this one.
