Dustin played this for me on the way to his parents' house a few weeks ago. The band is "Loney, Dear" and the song is I Am John.

I got a letter last week heralding my upcoming high school reunion. I quickly skimmed in spite, then satisfyingly crumpled up the paper and threw it away. But should we already be here?? Ten years ago I remember seeing Grosse Pointe Blank , Beautiful Girls, and Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. All three prominently featured the ten-year high school reunion, and I saw ...

My good friend Dustin is starting to get music reviews online at sites I frequent! You can check out some of his stuff here, here, and here. Three cheers for Dustin! May he smugly mock those who fail to entertain his genteel ears from his ivory perch in the clouds. Hooray!
