My friend Missy’s band, Radio Drama, is in the studio right now recording their first EP and they just put their first two songs, “My Mixtape” and “Valentine” up on MySpace.
They’re looking for a few things, new MySpace friends, page hits, downloads, song plays, honest feedback and for everyone else to spread the word because all of the above helps them get shows! So go listen and tell them what you think! If you love it, link it!
Dunno a damn thing about the band and these two videos are all I’ve seen/heard, but I thought they were awesome.
Atlas by Battles:
Now here’s Atlas bt Battles live:
Both just blew me away. Jesse says the album is just as impressive, so I put it on my wishlist since I have noooooo money to spend on music right now. Jesse said he’d burn me a copy, but then again, he always says that…he’s just a busy guy.
If anyone’s interested in putting it on their own wishlist, it’s called Mirrored.
Oddly enough, I’d never seen this video until today:
Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys
Today was a really really busy day and I’m sore. Pretty much as soon as I woke up, I started moving furniture around and getting my studio a little neater for a project I’m working on. My shoulders ache from hauling this gigantic chair from one end of the house to another, it easily outweighed me by 80 lbs but I got it moved. Here’s a crappy camera phone picture of my completed corner. I’ll post the official before & afters in Live Journal tomorrow.
Anyway, I’ve made a decision. I’m not going to do anymore video blogs and I’ll tell you why. Something I’ve noticed about my own YouTube habits is that, after about 5 video blogs from the same person, I kinda get tired of hearing them talk about whatever they’re talking about. I may get obsessed with a certain video blogger and watch every video they’ve done in one sitting, but even then, after 5 more new ones, I get tired of them and move on.
Sooooo, I’ve done 5 video blogs and I think that’s enough, 5’s a good number. Now, that doesn’t mean I’m done making videos period, it just means that I’m no longer going to be talking about my life & shit on video because really, it’s not all that interesting or different from what everybody else is doing and I’d prefer to write that stuff anyway.
So, for future reference, the 5 video blogs I’ve done so far are forever (yeah right) archived over there (—————–>) under the heading “Hey Guys, Um…“.
What am I gonna do next? Well I’ve got some ideas, but we’ll see what happens. Right now I’m just basking in the glory of the fact that my roof is no longer leaky and I have a whole room to do whatever I want to do with it.
I’ve been really restless lately, which happens every year. For some people birthdays are a day to celebrate themselves and it’s something they look forward to. With me, it’s the complete opposite. I try to be all excited about it and stuff, but it’s never a good day and the weeks leading up to it are never good weeks and every year I go to sleep disappointed in someone, so I pretty much spend most of February dreading the day.
I think the problem is just that I think I deserve presents EVERY day of the year, not just on the day some she-beast shat me from her loins. :D
In other news, I’ve had Zombie by the Cranberries stuck in my head for like, a week:
PS. And for the love of kittens, don’t send me a bunch of e-cards. I really really hate them and just delete the e-mails. I appreciate the sentiment, but they’re all just so…lame and never worth the time it takes for the stupid things to load.
On several occassions, I’ve woken up in the middle of sex dreams with Keith Partridge (not to be confused with that fat old guy, David Cassidy…there is a VAST difference between the two).
This is one of my favourite songs.
(One of many. :))
A while back I was fucking astounded that there was a person on planet Earth who didn’t know and love this song, that person was Alex. :D I directed her to Looptid.com, but it’s just not the same:
The other night I made Jesse & Jen watch Cool as Ice with me (which isn’t available on DVD & is one of those things you kinda have to watch every time it’s on TV), so I had to dig this up too. :D
Have I ever mentioned I’m the Queen of Quilty Pleasure Music?
