OBSESSED

with One Hundred Dollars these days. I do have a small confession to make though.


What a bunch of fuckin' babes and all around good folk!

I burnt their most recent album Songs of Man from CFCR and hardly listened to it cuz I didn't really care for it at first. In fact, I may or may not have referred to their album as a "snoozefest". Wellwellwell, was I ever wrong! I had the great pleasure of seeing them twice this past Halloween weekend and can't stop listening and internet stalking them. Simone, the lead singer, is such an enigma to me and I'm totally crushin' hard.

Oh yeah, they're playing with the Seahags in Bruno on November 9th, 2011, on their way back to Toronto. Do you think it's excessive and creepy for me to drive all the way to Bruno to see them again? I can just use the Seahags as an excuse, right?
