He Lives! (Kinda)

So I dissapeared for about a month, and to be honest, this is only a sort-of comeback.

Basically, this job working for Presidential Classroom, while amazing, is also incredibly time consuming, like 24/7 (check out the ol' LJ link on the right for my semi-coherent ramblings from the graveyard shift). Plus, the MSU webspace servers are a pain to access from here, so yeah.... a bit of a haitus, for which I should have made a formal announcement earlier.... sorry, I am a bad blogger :/

I'll hopefully be back full time sometime in August, most likely after Lollapalooza... for now, accept as consolation this great YouTube clip of the upcoming VH1 Classic tribute to Elvis Costello (who competes with Jeff Tweedy now for personal music god status after seeing him live), featuring duets with Death Cab for Cutie, Fiona Apple, and Green Day.... the audio is a bit off, but its definitely enough to get me psyched for when it airs on Friday.



also... BONUS! some raw audience video of the man legally known as Declan MacManus and Billie Joe Armstrong performing the rare track "Cheap Reward".... you think you can forgive me now for my prolonged abscence?
