"I am proud that night after night and album after album, a mass of humanity I now refer to lovingly as the pop underground, come together and sing. Whether it's in theaters and concert venues around the world, in the privacy of our own homes or the constantly shifting landscape of social media, we are a scrappy tribe and we stand for something: Music that is found, shared and cared for despite access to traditional outlets; music that lives virally and through word of mouth; music that tells a story that people want to retell." - Andrew McMahon
Lmaoooo Sarah that happened with me too with MRT when it was first being played and even with Keep Rising at the show I went to because it wasnt one that a lot of people were familiar with.
I love falling in love with new Andrew music. I'm always unsure and cautious about expecting anything new to give me that same old feeling. Like I'm always afraid that I'll have outgrown it or something weird like that. But it just never freaking happens. It still makes me so happy. I'm listening to "Cecilia" and "High Dive" on youtube and I just can't stop smiling.
And I will never get over how good he is live too apparently. I need to get my ass to a show because these videos are making me miss that energy and charisma SO much.
Also Sarah we got these SUPER cute baby gift bags in at work today and one of them has a kitten attached to it and I was like, "THIS iS PERFECT FOR US." I'll try to grab a photo tomorrow...
Still a little bummed I didn't get to pet Doris. Maybe she will become a regular tour dog so I'll get another chance!
Also, Andrew seemed thin to me at the recent dates, especially when I hugged him! Not sure if he's lost weight or if I just forget how slender he really is when I haven't seen him up close for a while. I mean, he looks good (like, uh, really good) but he does not need to get any skinnier! I just hope he isn't overdoing it with all the running and going back to being vegetarian and probably not getting much sleep on the road with the baby.
This DJ trailer always struck me as so ironic and poignant because of how the fan base united around him and grew even stronger after this point to rally for this cause, and now with Cecilia having come into the world it is just ridiculously beautiful how he has everything he never knew he wanted or thought he would get because of what happened. :') Very happy and very proud.
