365 project: "you know all my favorite singers have stolen all of my best rhymes"

day 22.

artist: alkaline trio
album: good mourning

this was the first album i bought on vinyl.

i didn't really know alkaline trio at that time, but i needed to start buying things to play on my record player, and i saw this in a store and figured it was as good as anything to start with. this was a few years back and there really wasn't much in the way of vinyl at that time.

not too long after this i started hanging out with Chris. during the time we spent together, he introduced me to alk3, and i started to fall in love. between constantly listening to them while hanging out with him and it being one of the few records i had, my bond with the trio became very tight.

all of the albums they have put out have songs i love and songs i hate, but on the whole, good mourning is my personal favorite. i don't know what exactly about it that makes it my favorite. Every thug needs a lady and blue in the face are two of my all time favorite alk3 songs, and both of them are on this disk. all on black is one of my favorite songs of theirs to sing along to. fatally yours is not far behind.

this is another album that is pretty close to my heart yet which i don't have much to say about. i will say, however, that even though its about 4 degrees outside tonight (its not even warm there, not even ten degrees) i was still rocking my thin alkaline trio hoodie...its replaced my brand new hoodie as the most worn of my collection.
