No, it won't be an all Depeche Mode post. (one, maybe two of you will get that).
Before we start let's all tell LRHG Happy Birthday. It's not until tomorrow, but since I'm lazy and posting this late, by the time you read this it will be today. Come to think of it; no matter when you're reading this, it's always today. She'll be getting hers later.
Our pick this week is a representation that if you give me a 40% coupon, I am going to use it. (Borders is trying to kill us). Got the coupon through the Borders reward thing and went and bought her book with it. It's been fun so far. NO stunning revelations, but I enjoy a good music book and it's fun to remember when certain things she's talking about came out.
The book is about a year she spent on tour and while one night, sitting in a dank basement of a shitty rock club, she took stock and realized she might not have her heart in it anymore. Like, I'm 30 and sitting on a stained with god-knows-what couch in a smokey shit hole. She felt like she was faced with the "What am I going to be when I grow up" question (which is the name of the book and a shitty question either way) and it spooked her since she was already doing what she had hoped to do. So, she took a year off from music. I'm assuming this is where the book leads us (only on page 78) while flashing back to her formative years etc. Looking forward to it.
When she came back to music she made this record which I just bought (thank you Discover Card cash back), which was aptly titled "How to walk away" and it's really good. Plus, reference previous mentions of her and indie girl crush.
So, from Boston, MA:
Juliana Hatfield - "The Lonely Love":
Bonus Tracks:
So it's LRHG's birthday and her man is taking her to see this. Because he loves her and wants to make her happy. Not as much as we do, but to be fair, we were here first. Happy Birthday.
I did watch this show with TOP 40 and it's one of the better ones of this genre since these people need actual talent and get forced out of their comfort zone and they just win a prize and none of this contract crapola. This was one of the better performances they did and not just because it was Jeanine, who was by FAR the hottest girl on the show this year (shut up Mormon Girl-you don't even know!). Plus it's a good version of this song (which is the music tie-in).

Hannah you hit the nail on the head...
Happy Birthday my Dear Joy. May you have many more. Hope you have/had a fabulous day.
1) eh, I could leave it
2) This is an AMAZING show. I took my mom who had no desire to see and we walked out singing this song and couldn't get it out of our heads for weeks. It was absolutely awesome. Only wish I could see it in NY and with Kristen Chenoweth.
3) What, you don't like Dancing With the Stars? Will you watch if EA is on it? Hannah - this was "So You Think You Can Dance" and I am in love with this show, too.
PS - Be kind to our sweet Mormon Girl - she's never done anything mean to you. ;)
First off - thanks for the birthday wishes guys!!
2) Sigh. SO good. R - remember what I said and take V to see it if ever given the chance. Hannah - you should read the book, too. Also SO good.
3) Sigh. Again, SO good. Love, love, love.
