the sunrise so far behind my eyes

i could count the number of times a band has truly changed my life. i may only count them on a hand or two, but i can honestly attest nonetheless. replacements, broken social scene, jose gonzalez, radiohead, walkmen, headlights, jiggsaw. westerberg in particular and the entire blues genre in general. changed my life. each in its own way, but always for the better.

the number of bands i've never seen or barely heard of who are playing at sxsw is well over a thousand.

with these odds... just think of it.
