from Dan Young of This Providence:

What’s up? You can’t answer that, but I figured it would be a really, really, sweet way to start a blog. That’s sarcasm, but it works. I’m required to write one blog a week, which is a good thing; keeps me social…in an internet-social kind of way. So here’s this week’s update.

Essentially it’s this: We’re still at home, getting ready to go out on our FIRST headlining tour, The ‘Bout Damn Time Tour…

It’s funny, I was reading on AbsolutePunk.net about the tour and someone said they thought that was a silly name for a tour. Well yeah it is, but who gives a shit, it’s true! We’ve been touring for 5 years and not once done a legitimate headlining tour. I hope we do good, I don’t really know how to headline a tour! I hope you all come to the shows, we’re going to make this tour something special. For example: If you didn’t already hear, we’re playing our album Who Are You Now? in it’s entirety as well as letting you vote to choose the old songs we play.

Anyway, I’ve just been hanging out at home. I think the person I spend most of my time with is…well, I take that back, it’s not actually not a person, it’s either my acoustic or Charlie. Charlie is our dog who I like to consider a kind of a mute, cuddly, person. Sometimes I wish he could talk. I wonder what he would say!

I’ve been extremely anti-social, a hermit of sorts. All I do is write music, play music, watch music documentaries, flood my twitter followers (follow me! @thedanyoung) with pointless nonsense (or maybe don’t) and drink coffee. Oh, and listen to music!

Favourite album to jam right now is a toss up between The Black Keys - Blakroc (what? I’m actually listening to hip hop?!) or Cat Stevens - Teaser and the Firecat. Make sure to check out BOTH of these fantastic, ground-breaking albums.

ALWAYS keep it real,
-Dan
