Please, Please, Please.

I just want to take a moment of silence to pay tribute to seriously one of the dopest CDs.

Please, please, please - don't hate on me for what I am about to say.

Just listen to Louder Now by Taking Back Sunday. I am sorry if they are too popular for me to really enjoy. However, I can't help it. I almost talked myself out of saying this, but then I took my iPod off of pause and couldn't hold back.

On a smarter note, I finished reading Salvation on Sand Mountain by Dennis Covington. It was great. I chomped through the 240-something pages in a cool day and a half. In the book, Covington recounts his coverage and involvement in snake-handling congregations in the Southeast. It was a great read - and an added bonus that most of the places he mentions in Alabama, I have visited. Anyways, if you are looking to read some wild, true stories from a first-hand perspective, check out the book. You won't be disappointed.

Also, go listen to that Taking Back Sunday album. If you don't like it, then feel free to throat-punch yourself at the end of your listening session.

Buh-bye.
