So, this song doesn't adhere strictly to the idea of being a song by a band I had heard before that either blew me away or changed my opinion on them, mostly because I couldn't think of any songs that fell into that category. That requires its own conversation on first impressions of music and whether or not those can be overcome, but I digress. 

The song is Face Down, by White Lung. I came upon this band completely by accident, skimming through an article about music to check out on the old sports and pop culture website Grantland. The video was in the article, among others. If the description caught my attention I'd see if the sound appealed to me, something I can usually determine pretty quickly (again, requiring a conversation about first impressions).  So the description of the band is, to paraphrase, feminist punk, and that catches my attention enough to get a listen. Within thirty seconds I am hooked, within an hour I have listened to that entire album and I am now an avid fan of the band. The guitar is amazing, the lyrics and vocals fierce and the drums pound like crazy. And I might never have heard any of it if I hadn't happened onto a random video posted in an article I was skimming through.

I, too, have dreamed of an alternate universe where you could drink lots and not vomit. Pretty sure I had a dream about couple days ago, actually.

Kinda scorchy outside. Was 43 of your degrees day before last. Thought the trees were going to go impromptu flambé.

My words have also gone all harebrained if these sentences aren't gibberish. I think I've forgotten how to forum. Maybe my brain melted?

(It may actually have melted considering I wrote this, like, two hours ago and then forgot to post it and was surprised to find the window still open )

This is interesting. I will be back soon with an answer or three, but there's thinking to do on the topic first.

Oh, definitely. I don't think ESPN has their Pick 'Em game up yet but once they do I'll get everything setup and post a link in here so that anybody on NL that wants to play can jump in.

Be careful with torches. Very hot.

Just finished up the show Vida. Loved it. Half hour show, but a drama, and they pack a lot into the episodes. On Starz here in the US, so might not be easily available, but highly recommend if you can find it.

I see how it is, you are that guy who stands drinking at the bar all night and then asks a girl to dance the last dance in the hope he can take her home without having to invest any time and money in conversing and buying her drinks.  That guy. 

If the NHL wanted me to pay attention to its regular season they wouldn't schedule it at the same time as the NFL, NBA and college basketball seasons!

April's here! Pens are in the playoffs! Time to pay attention to hockey again!

@hirondelle After everything I had heard, I went in with sky high expectations, and I was not disappointed. It was excellent, and is one of my favorites of the Marvel movies, up with Winter Soldier and Thor: Ragnorok.
