One of my favorite albums of all time:
Lots of Thrice and Dance Gavin Dance
It's a down Friday night for us. Son Jason and DIL Andrea went to a Dave Matthews concert. We brought the granddaughters to a Girl Scout overnight, and we have beagle pup Charlie for the night. Paul Cardall seems to keep an overactive beagle calmer. But he commandeered my favorite chair. He can have it:

I'm listening to From the Screen to Your Stereo,
a collection of movie music covers by New Found Glory, who are one of my favorite bands. There are three volumes, with a total of 25 tracks. It's pretty good stuff.

Mayday Parade - Bruised and Scarred
Thrice - The Artist in the Ambulance
Emery - In Shallow Seas We Sail
Taking Back Sunday - You're So Last Summer

The Metallica bit was epic. Bonus points for Siouxsie & the Banshees in the closing credits.
Love her vocals but also love Jerry Miller on guitar. He's an old-timer, originally with Moby Grape many years ago. Annie and I have seen her and Jerry perform live several times in Collinsville, CT.
