As you all know it's been a rocky year. One year ago on this date exactly at this time (midnight) I remember Amazon switching the pre-order at 11:59 to now available. I was so f#cking excited. I woke up and was at Best Buy at 10:00am when they opened and bought FMF.
I sat in the parking lot as a tear of joy swelled in my eye and I literally got a lump in my throat.
I spent the next 2 or so hours driving through the country listening to it about 3 times.
I couldn't believe the day had actually come. A day I dream come true. Then to top it off, quite a great year with many great shows (5 to be exact). Getting to hang w/ the band and meet a lot of cool people.
Unfortunately it all came to a screeching halt and the magic ended. It took me months before I could even listen to this masterpiece again. I'm coming around but I still get super pissed from time to time.
Anyways, hope we all can experience that feeling again sometime.
FTW
CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TO BLIND MELON MACH 3 #smiliedrunks#

Wow a year already! I have to listen to the album non-stop today and wish with all my heart for another new album....one day. About a year ago I totaled my car listening to "For my Friends" and miraculously walked out of the accident unharmed. (70 mph head on into a guard rail)
This album truly is magical.

Wow, that is definately magical. Didn't the band say they recorded like 30 tunes at some time? Couldn't they release the rest? I guess that wouldn't be Mach 3 though, and that would probably only piss me off more. #banghead#

Wow, a year already. I had already bought my copy at the Dallas show and was in Baton Rouge for the show (I think...it's all kinda fuzzy) I still listen to the album all the time. Time does fly!

I LOVE FMF. What a great album. I listen to it a couple of times per week. I listened to it today. I'm so glad to have been introduced to Travis. I have the songs from his Myspace on my iPod too...listened to them today! I pre-ordered and got the shirt, which I had signed by all the guys in St. Louis last spring/summer. I can't wait to hear some more Melon in the future.

I think I bought a total of five copies lol. Trying to find the damn digipak which was a farce... I remember waking up and going to Best Buy and listening to the album driving to work. Had the window down on a beautiful sunny day with my speakers at max and singing at the top of my lungs. Definitely received some strange looks from the cars around me I remember Cheetum Street and Harmful Belly just blew me away!!!

I ordered the pre-order pack, but headed to Best Buys first thing that morning. I had to look around for a minute to find it and I bought all copies that they had and headed to the car. I tore open into one and sat there in the parking lot crying like a baby for half an hour. It was a bright blue sky day and I was overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement. I was so grateful to have Melon back, something I thought would NEVER happen.
Once I left the parking lot I did get some funny looks on the way home from the great moves that I have when I jam drive to Melon #whitedancesmilie#

[glow=red,2,300]It feels so good it starts to hurt, hurts so bad it starts to burn [/glow] is how the FMF cd makes me feel.
As much as I love the For My Friends cd, it's like an emotional rollercoaster.
I listened to it yesterday for the first time in a while. It was such a great vibe when we heard about the band regrouping. Then this fantastic album is released. Then poof..... it's all gone again. It just pisses me off that something so good just goes away......again ftw #banghead#
it makes it hard to listen to it, yet I love it.

It's definately impossible to put that music away for long.No matter how I may be feeling about Travis T. that week.The unity that we had with each other & the band while all the incredible events were happening,is priceless.It's difficult to ignore the pain of the end of it all but I still get so much enjoyment out of the cd that it keeps me coming back for the fun of it.
