    "At least for now, at least tonight, I feel alright..." (Daydream, B&TFD Live @ The Baggot Inn: http://www.blakechristiana.com )

    Kicking off my weekend with this magic music chill pill - thought I'd share :) Happy almost weekend, 5G peeps - hope you have a good one!

    Daydream
    Words & music by Blake Christiana

    Daydream after daydream
    It happens all the time
    In my mind
    To make me feel better

    Climbing trees at night
    In the park
    In the dark
    Can make me feel better

    At least for now
    At least tonight
    I feel all right

    At least for now
    At least tonight
    I feel all right

    Bad news after bad news
    Seems to happen every day
    And I can't say
    That it makes me feel better

    So I'm trying hard not think
    Bout' anything at all
    Like a child I crawl
    And it's making me better

    At least for now
    At least tonight
    I feel all right

    At least for now
    At least tonight
    I feel all right

    Oh I__________don't want to go on
    Oh I__________don't want to go on

    A little lost, a little gone
    I've seen this silly world
    There is something wrong
    And it ain't getting better

    But at least for now
    At least tonight
    I feel all right

    At least for now
    At least tonight
    I feel all right

    Oh I__________don't want to go on
    Oh I__________don't want to go on
    Oh I__________just don't belong

    Daydream after daydream
    It happens all the time
    In my mind
    And it's making me better

    .....friggin' masterpiece of a song. I'm always amazed at the quality of songs Blake tosses aside to make room for new ones.

    Thanks Amy and happy weekend~

    Started out with Trigger Hippy last night in Greenville, SC. What a great show and fantastic bunch of musicians. Took today off to rest up for Big Daddy Love tonight in Winston-Salem and tomorrow afternoon at a BBQ festival. Then Possum Jenkins and The Dirty Guvnahs tomorrow night. It's a music-filled weekend!

    I've not heard that version of Daydream, RC, but any version is the shit! :)

    I have to second the Trigger Hippy Shout. What a fantastic band, if they play near you check them out, they are great! But getting in at two then at school at 7, and field day has fried this guy. Two kickball games tonight and then I am checking out for the evening. Had fun last night hopped and brouche.

    And it is longer than the other versions - bonus! This song is so kickass... the chorus is like a perfect mantra and the melody just lifts my heart. Seriously great, Blake!

    Checked out Trigger Hippy - thanks for the recommendation, you guys! I've caught Joan Osborne several times - absolutely amazing pipes!

    What a weekend it's been. Same as Hopped and Bad, it started in Greenville with Trigger Hippy. That is a great band. It'd be noce to see it become bigger than a side project. Then it was off to Merlefest for the rest of the weekend. Lot's of great groups I've heard before with several new ones (at least to me).

    Assembly of Dust was there for three sets. The smallest crowd they play to was about 200 people at it's peak. The only reason this was small was that The Waybacks were playing their album hour at the same time. If a band like AOD can play that festival, there is no reason Yarn is not there. The exposure for bands at these things is invaluable.
    Some other new and notables: Steel Wheels, Blind Boy Chocolate and the Milk Sheiks, Jeff Brousard and the Creole Cowboys, Red June, Honeycutters, Jonatahn Scale Fourchestra.
