I reviewed that one for AP.net when it came out! I was in college! I have a kid now! Time is ravaging my brain!
Yeah it was my first FJM and still my favourite. One of my favourite albums of all time. And it didn't hurt that I was getting married around that time. My life is tame compared to some of the lyrical content but I could definitely relate to the general theme of being cynical about the idea of a soul mate or marriage yet having those feelings overwhelmed by love. Unlike Josh I didn't have to reckon with my own worst impulses to reach that conclusion - I could just throw on Honeybear.
I was going to skip his show here in Pittsburgh next week because money is tight and I’m dealing with a bunch of personal shit but it looks like he’s been playing this entire album so I said fuck it!
Stop... I'm so upset this tour isn't coming here. I'm sure he's doing Lolla or something but if I don't get the whole album experience I will be very sad
