Jenn & Kim talk musical happenings in 2011, what they are looking forward to in 2012, falling asleep in performances, getting older and freaking out, and other random musings (did you know Jenn harbors a secret desire to be a comedy writer?!). Features tunes from Atlanta’s Book Club and Shook Foil, as well as Lucero, Wussy, Nada Surf, and more goodness!

Jesus Christ, Santa is a slob. No seriously… can you pass this on to Jesus. I haven’t talked to him in like… ever. (Taken with instagram)

Dear Santa, Get it your damned self. (Taken with instagram)

Dissatisfaction is a prerequisite for a productive and/or creative life. Constant complaining about that which dissatisfies inhibits either.

Electrical Guitar Company - Custom Thunderbird Bass.

WANT.

[Edit: It’s been pointed out to me that this is based on a Gibson RD Bass body. Mine would be based on a Thunderbird though… less of a hook at the top right and not quite as long. One of these days!]
