February’s over? I personally happen to love February but I have to admit, I was pretty much of a schlub all month.<\/p>\n
Let’s see, the best The best Only one concert? and one book? OK, this is pretty pathetic so far…<\/em><\/p>\n The best I am all about not getting my heart broken in February since I certainly get it broken every other stupid month of the year.<\/em><\/p>\n As for tunes <\/strong>in February, I’ve been all over the place. Obsessively listening to the soundtrack for Music & Lyrics<\/a>, enjoying the new Fall Out Boy<\/strong>, listening to lots and lots of Rogue Wave <\/strong> especially after a (new?) single played on FNL<\/strong>, digging The Bees (US)<\/strong> and Midlake<\/strong> (who I told you about twice (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>) and then finally got…very ’70s peaceful, easy feelin<\/em>…), and listening to some stuff I bought at the very end of January that didn’t get much play that month (new Youth Group!!!! “Casino Twilight Dogs” <\/strong> (*LOVE*) and The Guggenheim Grotto<\/strong>).
