Album cover

ben walker radio - trading in

song of the day, dudezzzz.

yesterday, i sang this song in the shower.  this morning, i woke up with it playing in my head.  right now, it’s playing in my ears.  (well, it’s playing on my ipod, which is connected to my stereo, which is connected to air waves, which are connected to my ears, which…you get the idea).

i figured out yesterday that i haven’t seen him play live since february 3rd, 2004.  that’s all kinds of wrong and ridiculous.  hoping to change it soon, but some changes are hard to make when you live in the great white north.

(truth time…i was originally gonna upload on the way, but the file was too big)

(truth time, pt 2: angel has been on every mix i’ve ever made for a girl ever)
