I have long been a supporter of local music in my area, but of all the bands that roll through here, I rarely find one to follow. I can count 3 - Pushmonkey, The Dirty Wormz, and these guys, Blue October. Their sound ranges from heavier to almost sappy and girlish, and I've got to say that there is nothing about them that's typical. Justin Furstenfeld is the singer, and he's got an interesting gruffness to his voice. I know they get radioplay, but I don't know how farflung they are just yet.
This is my favourite song, because the feel of the music, the flow of the lyrics, it all communicates that wonderful feeling you get when you meet someone and just can't get enough of them. When I listen to this song, I'm reminded of so many instances in my life. Everybody should go buy Foiled. Right away.
I close my eyes and I smile
Knowing that everything is alright
To the core
So close that door
Is this happening?
My breath is on your hair
I'm unaware
That you opened the blinds and let the city in
God, you held my hand
And we stand
Just taking in everything.
And I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach
And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
But Here we are
On this 18th floor balcony...
we're both flying away.
So we talked about moms and dads
About family pasts
Just getting to know where we came from
Our hearts were on display
For all to see
I can't believe this is happening to me and,
I raised my hand as if to show you that I was yours
That I was so yours for the taking
I'm so yours for the taking and
Thats when I felt the wind pick up
I grabbed the rail while choking up
These words to say and then you kissed me... (yeah)
I knew from the start
My arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach
And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
But here we are
On this 18th floor balcony...
We're both flying away
And I'll try to sleep
to keep you in my dreams
'Till I can bring you home with me
I'll try to sleep
and when i do I'll keep you in my...dreams
I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
And your head is on my stomach
And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
So here we are
On this 18th floor balcony...
Yeah
I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach
No...We're not going to sleep
Here we are
On this 18th floor baclony...
We're both flying away.

crazy/lazy - he filmed a movie in my town when I was a teen, before he hit it big. We played pool together and he bought me lots of booze. When filming was done, he bought me a tattoo, with promises to buy another when he got his first oscar. I'll never get that tattoo, since most of the movies he makes are kinda cruddy, but I DID get baby announcements when his son James was born, and he sent me an Irish blanket when my son was born, as well as 4 yards of Irish lace for my veil when I got married.
==================
Another story of fiction brought to you by CookieLass.
So far we have:
You had a horrible childhood only rivaled by horror scripts.
You are in direct lineage with Robert The Bruce.
You travelled all the world and speak 4 languages.
You knew a man who died in september 11 who loved you and wrote 4 journals about you.
You are extremely beautiful woman (even though pictures of you suggest quite the contrary).
You know Colin Farell personally.
And that's only what you've told me or what've I read. I imagine there's a whole lot more.
Your life is quite rocky isn't it for someone who's always online at any hour of the day.
===================
let's add to that list that you now support support small bands. are you a producer?
come on, get that compulsive lying brain going. ""
Let's not forget 'my cousin died and even though i didn't have a passport I was allowed to travel from the USA to the UK'.

+2 local music.
Mind you - you *do* like the Black Eyed Peas - and I'd sooner insert a crocodile into my anus than listen to their special brand of utter utter gashrot.

You're not pulling me into an argument, Caul. Last answer for you, and I'm going to chalk this up to your selectively bad english reading skills. Supporting a band = buying their CD when they make a new one, buying a ticket to their shows when they're in town, buying that kickass tshirt they're selling, telling people who don't know about them that they're cool and should be listened to.
The rest of your ridiculousness I have already addressed.

I had a scathing retort for you, but I changed my mind.
I haven't said anything that I can't back up, and I could scan in pictures of things, and cards, and post emails, and show you proof of anything I've said. But you'd just tell me it's photoshopped or somehow forged. I could have people call your house and tell you "Yes, what Rowan says is true" and you'd just accuse me of finding some kind of imposter. So why bother? For the grudging respect of 2 bitter internet people that I don't even like? I don't need that kind of respect, thanks.

Well then I guess it's a good thing that I don't do that, apollo. Generally, supporting the band means oh, I don't know, going to the shows, buying merch, buying CD's, telling people about them...
Although I did suck the cock of the drummer for Pushmonkey. But I'd been dating him for a year. And that was ages ago when I was a teenager, and he wasn't in the band then, so I don't think it really counts.

sucking the cock of every greasy roadie doesn't make you a 'supporter' you disgusting hound.
