And by got the albums, I mean, I stole them.
I've physically bought them all since, but in those first couple months. Well. It went down like this. My ex boyfriend said, hey there's this free concert down at summerfest, you might like it, I'll burn you some of his music so you're not totally stupid at the show.
I got silverman that night, and the next couple days, I demanded more, and he gave me what else I 'needed to know'.
I was still basically clueless at that show. With a lack of messner I had no idea wtf Lullabye was about. And then, years later down the road, I was DYING to hear that song live, and found a copy of my first show's set list on the .org and went... DAMNIT. My desires have since been fulfilled several times over, however.
It was really the live show that sank the deal though.
I do remember listening to RtS on repeat that summer. It was my summer cd of 05. for sure. Only four years too late. WHooppss.
I haven't taken the swear blocker off, I just do it as a courtesy to anyone reading who might be offended by the F word.
If they are, they're listening to the wrong artist.
The swear blocker is only what you see. Any random person who comes across the boards sees sh*t and the like. But if you type shit, and cause I have the block off, I see your shit. OH no, I seem to have walked into a terrible predicament.
