Yes, today I experienced the joy of Sunny Day Real Estate. A little while
ago, a friend of mine started talking to me about my shirt, the Thief Steal
Me a Peach one. She liked it alot, and one day I wore it without my hoodie
and she exclaimed, "Thats Sunny Day?!" And we had a fast, happy talk about
how great they are. Then I was shocked at what she said next. Although she
love them, she had only heard How It Feels to be Something On and parts of
The Rising Tide. The next time I saw her I shoved my copy of Diary in her
face and commanded her to speed home, lock herself in her basement and not
leave until she'd listened to it 239,473 times. This was last Friday. I saw
her this morning. It was beautiful. She come up to me, clutching Diary to
her bosom. She looked at me with wide eyes as she sadly offered it back to
me. "My God, Dan!" she gasped. "That was beautiful." She went on about
Song About an Angel. It was really a great experience, she said she had
already ordered all the other Sunny Day albulms online, after hearing Diary.
She was simply blown away by the band. It really is a beautiful thing when
someone discovers Sunny Day Real Estate. Wait till she gets aload of LP2.....
