“Stable Song” with Max Records from We Love You So on Vimeo.
This video is for my BFF Daniel. Yesterday was his birthday, I thought it was today. I am a bad best friend. Daniel is one of the greatest people I know. Shu is doing the graphics for Daniel’s graphic novel and they are both so excited. I met Daniel in the late 90′s when he was working in a record store. I actually worked in a record store at the same time, but a different one, and had forgotten to buy a CD before I left. I stopped by Daniel’s store to pick it up. As I pulled into the parking lot I saw a car with a Son Volt sticker on it. When Daniel asked if I needed any help I asked if he knew the owner of the car, it turned out to be him. I love Son Volt, and don’t know too many other people that do, so I was excited to see that sticker on a car. He helped me find what I came for, we talked about music for a bit, then before I left we exchanged email addresses. We have been friends ever since. Amazing that my need to have a CD the day it came out is what brought us together. If I would have remembered to buy it at work I may never have met Daniel.
This post is clearly for him, but also a look into the past of what budded an amazing friendship.
Happy Birthday Daniel! Sorry I am a day late.
