I'm just passing by to say how much your music matters in my life. It's such an important part, and I just want to say Thanks. Thanks to you guys, for bring us such a beautiful, nostalgic and lovely music and lyrics. Also, asking if you guys have another scheduled performance here in Mexico. I wasn't able to assist to the last one. Tons of love for you guys, have a wonderful day :DAaaah! So much love from Mexico. We have nothing scheduled…yet… ♥http://www.thedears.org/post/959940091http://www.thedears.org/post/959940091Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:56:09 -0400hi guys, i loss the last visit to Mexico, when you comeback? we love you!!!!!!Mexico!

Just one thing, the same thing wondered, pondered, posed, dreamt... when, when, when will the new album burst free? When will my fickle mood be once more altered by the soporific melodies of The Dears? When will I be on the cusp of life and death, hoplessness and optimism. Just when...?Some of these questions we simply cannot answer. But before spring 2011 happens in the northern...http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/thedears/submissions?959930452http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/thedears/submissions?959930452Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:53:49 -0400http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilismhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilismhttp://www.thedears.org/post/955902346http://www.thedears.org/post/955902346Sun, 15 Aug 2010 01:25:38 -0400Are we dropping the needle on a bit of news next week?
