Rediscovered this song tonight.

It's my first time listening to it in a while, but specifically since my dad passed in July.

@mikeoconnor.bsky.social has turned me into a mead person but i still don't know how to tell if what im buying is "good" mead.

I believe in you

I think I’m also deciding that this site needs more people talking about music. And I think it’s time to be the change id like to see in the Blue Sky.

It’s weird to me how under appreciated Laura Jane Grace is as an all around musician and songwriter outside of the punk circle.

I don't know why I'm so late to the Wet Leg party but good lord.

Kind of all over the place genre (whilst sticking close within rock / emo) wise but
