my love, my life, my sin, my soul

I dislike most things. I have almost no favorites. Typically, for me, books, foods, people, places, and so forth fall into categories of: things I am forced to acknowledge are good (New York City) or things that offend the soul of Art (Steven King), but ever since the summer of 2003, David Bazan (of the now late Pedro the Lion) has had my heart. I love David Bazan with an unshakeable love. Every time he writes a song about an unhappy marriage, I cross my fingers to hear that he's finally divorced (hasn't happened.) In my book of very few praises, no one writes better lyrics than David Bazan. The fact that he's a total sweetheart in concert puts the whole thing over the top. I love David Bazan FOREVER.

So, best thing to happen to me all week: 6 new songs available for download at davidbazan.com .

Best thing to happen next week? He's playing at Grinnell for FREE.
