OMG OMG OMG ANBERLIN MY BBS, MY PRECIOUS, MY FAVORITE

mysoulforcoffee​ introduced me to them and there was no going back. I’ve kept their 2008 concert ticket in my wallet ever since we went to see them in San Francisco that first time. They sang Paperthin Hymn. They also sang (*FIN) and I could have cried.

((FIN is Andrew&Bee’s song))

((Paperthin Hymn has more meaning, but FIN is like I feel like hurting what should I listen to))

((sort of like Kelly Clarkson’s SOBER))

I bought several of their CDs while I was in Japan, so their music is intrinsically tied to the three of the things that had the most impact on my life: The Foxhole Court, Japan, and Weiß Kreuz.

((They broke up recently, because they wanted to end things before the pressure of success wore them down, before they started becoming a MORE OF THE SAME band, before they stopped loving the music they were making. I went back to San Francisco while they were on their final tour, because I needed to end it where I started it. Bought a t-shirt after the show — the only article of clothing that hides in the back corner of my closet where daily wear & tear won’t ruin it, because if it gets damaged in any way I will not recover.))
