    Gene and Dean seem like great guys, and are one of the most criminally overlooked bands ever.

    First time I saw this video I was just getting acquainted with the band, but for whatever reason this quick little rendition of Birthday Boy ignited an obsession. There's something about their softer songs in particular that allows them to get under your skin and invade your life for awhile.

    The Mollusk by Ween is possibly, the greatest prog rock classic ever. It's just a hair better than Rush's A Farewell to Kings.

    Oh no, by no means does it suck. The shops there are eclectic as hell, the scenery on the bridge as well as the streets is beautiful, there's all kinds of art galleries, and the restaurants there are excellent, if you can afford them, that is. XD

    I haven't been to New Hope since my grandparents moved away. I remember Now and Then, by the bridge, and Zipperhead. I think Now and Then is an ice cream store if I'm correct. What was the name of the awesome antique place on the corner of the busy intersection? I remember it was originally further up that street. Also is Superkind still there?

    • @dianarchy23
      @dianarchy23 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I know this is 6 years later, but I think that antique store got flooded out & it's no longer there. I don't think Superkind is there anymore, was it a headshop?
