Courtney, I AM impressed! Manic Depression as the first track is proof of your genius!
(you must have listened twice)
Ah, the brothers Careaga.
It's some sort of weird, twisted, buddy comedy, much like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a buddy comedy, isn't it?
Courtney = luckiest blogger ever. ;)
You rock! Just what I needed to make it through the afternoon.
Armageddon It? Yes, I'm a'gettin' it.
WOW...
I just saw some other study that says music disrupts concentration. I'll choose to believe yours.
So I guess the I blew it in the early 70's when I smoked a bunch of pot and lost the advantage that "Purple Haze" gave me.
