Sunny Day Real Estate - "Seven" (Live on Jimmy Fallon)

This song takes me back about fifteen years ago...

Every month in high school I would look forward to flipping through the pages of my copy of Alternative Press in search for my next musical discovery. Sunny Day Real Estate had just released "Diary" on Sub Pop Records and I was fascinated with the advertisement featuring the artwork from the album. It was one of the first albums that I ever bought just because of the artwork alone. When I listened to the album the first time I was confused. The album was dark, moody and unlike anything I had ever heard before. It wasn't punk. It wasn't alternative. It wasn't rock. It sounded kind of like Shudder To Think, but was far more up tempo. It grew on me over the years and became one of my favorite albums. While in college I had the chance to see them at The Bottleneck in Lawrence, KS on their first reunion tour in 1998. They had just released the album "How It Feels To Be Something On."

Recently the band reunited with the original line up to play a string of shows this fall. In addition they released "Dairy" and "LP2" on vinyl with additional tracks. Here's their recent performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Crazy Days

The last month has been nuts. I have split my time between Branson and
Springfield trying to transition my office to the new location. We
sold our house today after only 24 hours on the market. So... Now the
search begins.

Time Flys

Wow... Things have been a little busy around here. I just wrapped up
the last class of Financial Peace University and Town Hall For Hope.
I'm also in the process of transitioning my office to Branson, MO. In
addition we're prepping the house to sell in the next 6 weeks. Did I
say we are headed camping? Yeah... That too!
