Although I just heard of Fruit Bats, I feel like I've heard this song before. Does anyone know if this is in a commercial or on a soundtrack or something? It's so familiar. Anyhow, I loves it.
This is also a nod to Blip.FM...basically Twitter for musics. Add me! I'm "tangledcord," of course.
There were snow sprinkles today. I have bubble wrap taped to the ceiling above my bed. I like to think it catches some but it's not working too well.
There are less words than usual.

Listen to Cement Bridge. He'll make you happy and sad and you'll think of hiding under covers with flashlights and writing in your journal when you were little.
Cement Bridge likes comic books. He likes bunnies and other cute, fluffy animals. Soft slippers. The Weakerthans. That's all, or more.
Yay for catchy pop and gruffly voices. The Break and Repair Method is currently on tour with Matt Nathanson. TB&RM is a side project of a Matchbox 20 band member, Paul Doucette. Photography by James Minchin.
"I waited for too long // just to knock at the door // and it's always been love songs // that pick me up off the floor // and then you said "I don't want you" // and you won't be able to be sad."
