I have absolutely no idea who that girl is honestly. Considering how so many of my male friend do not usually favor the fairer sex though I think I can confidently say that I don't think she's his girlfriend.
You wouldn't have had to make my go if you were in my area. It'd be far to voluntary for me to have to be force.
Also, if you lived close I would probably be loaning you CDs left and right (since I have a habit of doing that) instead of just littering your Facebook wall with videos every now and again. We would move and groove and have glorious adventures.
And yes, I caught that reference and it furthered the connection for me. You should know that I give albums more than one try though. I need to get my money's worth, right?
No but seriously, it had me intrigued quite a bit from the get go and being that you spoke so highly of it I knew it would grow on me sooner or later (I regret to say that "Boys for Pele" did not share a similar fate) and what's more I bought it on the same day as the new Dream Theater album and have only listened to the latter once in order to favor Blue October.
