It is widely known that I do not like many bands. I do like Watercolor Paintings. This album is really touching, but maybe I’m just really sensitive lately. You know what? Both. I am too sensitive lately AND this album is really touching. The harmonies kill me. Download it and let it play in the background while you plan romantic adventures.</p>http://www.paulbaribeau.com/post/17591183332http://www.paulbaribeau.com/post/17591183332Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:48:30 -0500<p>These are some shows I have coming up.

I have no idea who Guitar Bomb is but I do know what house he is talking about. This happened in 2006-2007. Pretty funny review from a total asshole. This was a strange house for sure, but was one of my favorite houses to play. Louisville, KY in 2006-2007 was an awesome place to show up on tour. So many positive kids.</p> <p>Guitar Bomb, and a million other awful bands, are what makes DIY so hard to care about sometimes. People like that suck the life out of everything.</p> <p>Also, what does “drank spacebag” mean?</p>http://www.paulbaribeau.com/post/16452406728http://www.paulbaribeau.com/post/16452406728Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:19:22 -0500<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxurlg9oLl1qar8rao2_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxurlg9oLl1qar8rao1_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxurlg9oLl1qar8rao3_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxurlg9oLl1qar8rao8_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxurlg9oLl1qar8rao4_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxurlg9oLl1qar8rao7_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxurlg9oLl1qar8rao5_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxurlg9oLl1qar8rao9_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxurlg9oLl1qar8rao6_250.png"/><br/> <br/>http://www.paulbaribeau.com/post/16408178734http://www.paulbaribeau.com/post/16408178734Tue, 24 Jan 2012 10:00:05 -0500<p>I must know where you are getting this information.
