those arent the northern lights

first of all i would like to apologize for not blogging the last two days. my house's internet decided to die. lame. but i'm back at the office. which means blog time baby.

so today i am going to share the tale of matt hines. you know how we all have that musician that we love just a little too much? Andrea has Stevie Nicks, Laura has 98 Degrees, and Ross has Kiss. Well i love the music of Matt Hines. one of my big problems is that he is from around here though...which makes this whole thing A LOT creepier. i first encountered matt while he was playing the synthesizer in a band called the Clints. i thought the band played some pretty good music and i really enjoyed the dynamic matt added to band. Skip to the future. Chris and went to a show to see the Clints and Driver F and Matt's other band Alaska is for Players was playing. They were alright, but for some reason looking back i was really drawn to watching them. We bought this compliation they were on and we really liked the two songs that were theres. skip to the future again. Chris and i went to go see Alaska play an acoustic show that matt and his guitarist were playing. it was really good and we bought there cd. soon after alaska broke up and chris and i were devastated. luckily matt started a solo project called the eastern sea. it was really good and chris and i have seen him play like 3o times. so basically thats the short version of the "Proctor is in love with Matt Hine's Music" story.

also...if this is matt reading my blog...i'm really not as creepy as this sounds.

Let me congratulate you on your entrance to the IOWSBIAHW Club! (for those non-members it stands for the I'm-Obsessed-With-Someone-But-In
A-Healthy-Way) I googled this guy and he seems very Proctor-ish:-) You have one up on me as far as being a devoted fan.......you are, afterall, the TOP friend on Alaska's myspace page! If Stevie HAD one, I hope I would be in the top:-)
