@pmablog can’t wait to see @freelancewhales again in March! They put on a really good show at the Black Cat last month.
As I have before…
i love this album, from start to finish it is wonderful. i will have to definitely see them in LA next month, thanks for the heads up.
That looks like the corner of Bedford and N 7th. Hipsters!
PS: AMAZING record.
