The Best News You Never Thought You'd Hear This Year
I just got a press release for the new album by Dri, or Adrianne Verhoeven (ex-Anniversary). While I don't have much to say about her music, I mention this because the press sheet revealed something altogether more exciting:
Okay, so when they say new they mean old and unreleased, but nobody's complaining. The Anniversary used to be my favorite band, back when "favorite band" was a very serious honor. I tried to get a copy of everything related to the band, but there's no way I've heard every one of the 26 (!) songs set to appear on the album. Excuse me-- double disc (!).
For those who don't know, the band has been broken up for something like five years, or as long as they were together. I guess the timing seemed right? Anyways, I copped the title of this one for a poem I wrote in high school that went on to win an award from the city:
C'mon, you'd do the same.

Awesome. Thanks for the news. I didn't think anyone else ever even cared about them.
This is absolutely incredible
On a random urge to see if I could find out what happened to the Anniversary, I stumbled on your post, and was delighted to find "I believe the end..." clip you had posted. I think I once had the ep whence it came, but have long since lost it.
Thanks for making my day!
