But then I checked the weather and saw that the temperature this weekend was finally going to fall on an a nice moderate 70-75 degrees, a vast improvement over the hot-and-cold days we've been having for the past few weeks. So, here it is, another lame intro about the weather.

More people are making the scene as it's getting warmer, and allergy sufferers are popping a few Zyrtec and persevering.

Iron Lung – White Glove Test (Iron Lung Records/Prank Records)
Unfortunate though it may be, if I had a nickel for every time I could describe a punk or hardcore band as possessing a distinct approach, I'd barely have enough for a packet of Ramen.
