I hadn't been to the Open Book in a while, but I'm going to have to start hanging around there again. Justin posted the final 15 songs on the new album:

1. x-amount of words
2. u make me smile
3. overweight
4. everlasting friend
5. been down
6. into the ocean
7. i drilled a wire through my cheek
8. congratulations
9. let it go
10. hate me
11. sound of pulling heaven down
12. what if we could
13. 18th floor balcony
14. she's my ride home
15. " ghost track " it's just me

I'm particularly excited because I have never even heard most of these songs. It really sucks to be away from Texas.

One thing that has always annoyed me is the name of song #1. Grammatically speaking, it should be X NUMBER of words, not amount, but whatever. Every time I listen to the song I really have to make an effort to not think about that, because it is really an overwhelmingly amazing song. So really, I only know four songs, so I'm going to be squirming in my seat until this album comes out.

Anna, if you have any of these songs, I will pay you, or knit you stuff, or whatever, to get them.

And just for that little bit of horror that your life may have been lacking, have a listen: Because Justin says so. (just...maybe don't listen at work.)

Heh. People confusing "less" and "fewer" is my personal bug-bear. I'm not a pedant, but it just sounds so wrong! Why is it apparently such a difficult concept to grasp?

I don't know, but I keep explaining it to the college students I teach, and they keep getting it wrong.

I personally boycott grocery stores that have lines marked 7 Items or Less.

It is just intolerable.

I can deal with Justin's bad grammar because he is a musical genius. Can't have everything. Maybe his next girlfriend will be an English major.

Just tell them they're going to get less good grades.

Funnily enough, that's one I don't notice, presumably because I've seen it so often. "Seven items or fewer" actually sounds odd in that context.. Oh well, I gave up expecting consistency from my brain years ago :/
