Seriously, Patrick STUMP. ♥ No, no, I don't have a thing for self-effacing talented and fiercely loyal people (who is this Bob Bryar you're speaking of?). Also I like the way he writes music, man, I really do.

I think it's looking like I'm starting with that one and Infinity on High--I want to sort of do a little at a time.

And oh, the way you describe that is so lovely, I can almost see it. Music just--sometimes it really does make a moment that much more tangible and memorable. Vienna Teng does that--I was sitting on the subway the first time I understood that City Hall was about gay marriage and started crying at the line "My baby's looking so damn pretty with those anxious eyes, rain-speckled hair, my ring to wear". It's possible I'm kind of an emotional person.
