| I love the Verve Pipe, as it says!! They have been my favorite since about 1994 when I bought Pop Smear, their second CD. I remember I bought it because someone recommended it for me right before my family took a road trip through the eastern U.S. I popped it in my CD player and never took it out. Whenever I listen to 'What You Wanted' I still think of driving through the Appalachans. |
| My collection has since grown to all 6 of their releases including: I've Suffered a Head Injury, Pop Smear, 85 on 31, Villains, *Self Titled*, and Underneath. If you haven't heard of this band, or want to hear more, I suggest you buy some CDs (since I shouldn't be advocating internet downloading). Or, email me here and I will send you all the songs you can handle!!! Also, check out the vervepipeings site for some great live songs. |
| So, like a true obsessed fan, I have been to too many concerts to count (okay 32). My favorite full band concert to date was Muskegon Summer Celebration in 2000. That white suit Brian wore was awesome!! My favorite Brian VanderArk solo was in February 2002 at the MSU union. I was front row and got his setlist. |

| Plans are in the works for me to go to 5 or 6 more concerts this summer. Keep your fingers crossed that I can get the days off work!!! |
