the last few weeks of summer ruled! comadre/graf orlock rolled into town at the end of july and put on one of the most amazing punk shows in recent years in dc. ***AWARD FOR BEST SUMMER PUNK SHOW 2007*** it took me two days to recuperate and it was awesome, minus the 2 days of recuperation. also went up to nyc for west coast east coast takeover. came up to baltimore a few times for ccas jamz (photo shoot!!), cliff diving and nature walks in thunderstorms with cute bands, house shows, y'know, good times. dc gave me good vegan baked goods and ethnic food and good friends who let you pass out on their bed and use their deep fryer for home-made donuts...all things not essential to the KSR blog but kept me busy while off air. but i'm wayyyy excited to begin the new semester; i have tons of new music in store and can't wait to share it with you! in the meantime, here are some lists of albums/artists that got me through the past 4 months + 2007 so far!!
