Sooooo I love the bird and the bee, annnnnd i found out about a month ago theyre going to release a tribute record to Hall and Oates. MEANING that all those amazing Hall and Oates songs are all covered by the bird and the bee. HELLO! that music + her angelic voice = perfection. I hear sneak peaks on KCRW every now and then but ill just have to wait until March 23d to own it.

so i think its been about 15 years since ive written on this blog but i decided that im going to pick it back up and keep on truckin. I will say my whitty posts will prolly mostly be on twitter because those one sentence thoughts go through my mind about every few min and its so much easier to post it through my phone then elaborate about it on here. BUT i will try and make this as interesting as possible. For one, id like to say im really liking the way my stores blog is going so check it out if you get a chance http://thepenelopetimes.tumblr.com/
