I did not have a Mulcahy-filled Christmas this year. But all of the Macaulay made up for it!

Christmas Wishes & New Year's Blogolutions



Mark Mulcahy performing Wonderful Christmas Time. This is just one of those fake out videos, it's just the audio with this picture from the performance. Either way, it's still a great song, and it's Mark so I'll watch anything. Just click play and check up on your other sites in a different window if you are going to be a brat about it.


I've got my fingers and toes crossed that I'll wake up to this Christmas morning!
plzplzplzplzplzzzzzz

New Year's Resolutions
-My goal for this blog is to talk about Mark Mulcahy so much that if he ever googles himself, I'd be at least on the first page of results.
-My other goal for this blog is to actually blog
-My other other goal is to get a sweet banner for the top of the page
-And an actual blog title
-...that seems like enough.

Happy Holidaze!

Up On The Roof And Just Listening To Your Song


I cannot get over Mark Mulcahy. I've been on the hunt for his music since two summers ago after massively bingeing on The Adventures of Pete and Pete with my little brother. The first one I found was Polaris, because they were all I cared about at that point, and they did most of the P&P soundtrack . They only did P&P, and were really just a side project for Miracle Legion.

I was frantically searching for 'Waiting For October', a song about a crazy guy screaming about how the world would end Oct. 28, 1999. The song was usually featured as a closing song that ran during the credits, but it was one of those songs that makes you restless. So restless that you want to run outside (no matter what time of day) and do something.  In short, I think I'd get a lot more accomplished if the soundtrack to P&P was the soundtrack to my life. If 'Waiting For October' or 'Coronado II' was the sound of my alarm clock, I wouldn't be annoyed by waking up.

Next in line was Miracle Legion, equally as fantastic as Polaris, and almost the exact same band. Miracle Legion was Polaris+Mr. Ray Neal. Their discography is a little hard to get my hands on because of complications with their record label going bankrupt. So far, the only albums I have of theirs are Drenched and Me and Mr. Ray. These give me some P&P flashbacks, even though they weren't ever used on the show. Similarly to Polaris, Miracle Legion captures that end of summer feeling, walking alone on the first cold night of fall, and the nostalgia of childhood. 

I just recently got my hands on some of Mark Mulcahy's solo music. In Pursuit of Your Happiness reminds me the most of Polaris, and makes me want to move to Connecticut for the fall.



So if you didn't know before, now you know. If there is a band that you feel like this toward, let me know. But chances are that I'll be too focused on my own obsession to notice yours.
