land of talk – may you never

before we get to todays song by land of talk, did everyone enjoy their pre-halloweekend? i know i sure did. hit up a few halloween parties on friday and saturday night attended detroits craziest halloween party in the history of the world, theatre bizarre. although at the time im writing this that hasnt yet happened, so i guess i cant really say for sure if it was awesome, but im hoping that it will be, despite being pretty chilly and whatnot [edit:it far surpassed any expectations that i tried not to have]. fortunately im going as patrick bateman from american psycho, more specifically as this facet of patrick bateman, which means im able to wear some leather gloves without comprimising the integrity of my costume. …read more and hear the song…
