Summer's The Worst + Why I'm "Moobie" Today

It could be Friday TODAY. I could be excited for the weekend, but let's face it - I'M NOT. It's been an insane week which will be followed by an even more insane weekend, followed by another week of torture. I'm feeling downright moobie today (I just made that word up). Someone at AceFu sent me this track by Michael Leviton earlier this week. It's title was hard to overlook in "moobie" state. I threw it on in the middle of my morning e-mail routine I was treated with one of the most delightfully upeat indie rock songs about how much summer sucks ass I have ever heard. Michael Leviton I could KISS YOU RIGHT NOW. [MP3] Michael Leviton - Summer's The Worst **Highly Highly Highly Highly Recommended Michael will be playing Tangier TONIGHT if you're interested in checking him out. I am heading out TONIGHT to see Morningwood do there thang opening for the GoGos at their 25th anniversary show of the release of Beauty and The Beat at The Greek Theatre. Stoked doesnt even begin to compare. I can't make it a late one tonight because bright and early Im treking up to San Francisco to spend the weekend with family. Birdmonster are also playing at Bottom Of The Hill on Sat. but alas, I will miss that show (sorry boys tell the tamborine I'll make it up to him).
