Plug time

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Ok so you all know I LOVE music. It’s the blood that runs through my veins and keeps me sane in times of craziness. So I thought I would do something a little different this post, I want to plug my favorite artists in no particular order.

So here we go!

Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip – While I am not a huge hip hop fan, every few years an album comes out that just amazes me. Angles is one of those albums. It makes me want to dance, sing and at times cry but it always holds up as one of my absolute favorites. They are real nice guys too.

Kiss Kiss – As if this comes to a surprise to anyone who knows me. Since I heard Machines I’ve been in love with their music. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to see a band live as much as I have these guys (and gal). Here’s to kiss kiss and their future albums which I know will be as good as their last 3!

And you will know us by the trail of dead – What can I say about them that have not already been said. They rock. Oh and Jonas was *almost* named Conrad after their lead singer.

Ok so you get the point…. I wanted to name more but the sleeping pill is kicking in and I am tired. So I will just leave some myspace URL’s here if you would like to check them out.

Stuff

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

I feel like I should work on the CD’s today, anything to keep my mind off Isis, right? I hate Saturdays. For the most part I get to sleep in most weekends. Jim wanted to go to some Blacksmith show in the city and I said he could so I was left with the Boy this am. It doesn’t matter, I wouldn’t have slept past 10 anyways. Well I guess it’s time to get working on those CD’s since it’s been a while, they might just turn out to be Christmas gifts. I seem to be finding more I want to add to Tonya’s so she may get an extra CD.

Love you all and have a happy weekend.

Good radio? Impossible!

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

OK so the past week our Satellite has been out. We can’t afford to get it back on till tomorrow. It’s boring without TV. Anyways this has left me to search around for some stuff to watch and listen to on here. Amazingly I had this radio station in my bookmarks and I’m not sure where it came from but it’s pretty darn good. Click here to listen to WOXY!

Other than that i’ve been watching South Park and The Simpsons on ATDHE.Net and finally finished watching Moral Orel. Not much else. Today is a down day so I will be relaxing and hoping my back isn’t killing me tomorrow after the ride to Rolla and back. Maybe I’ll work on the CD’s today.

Holy carp!

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Yes misspelling intended. I finished Tonya’s first track listing for the CD just now and here’s a peek.

CD 1
————
Butch Walker – Lights Out
And You Will know us by the Trail of Dead – Naked Sun
Dresden Dolls – Coin-Operated Boy
Franz Ferdinand – Love and Destroy
Death in Vagas – Scorpio Rising

Burning Airlines – Paper Crowns
QOTSA – No one Knows
Muse – Please, Please, Please, Please let me get what what I want

Comments? I kind of thought about putting The Killers (feat Lou Reed) – Tranquilize on here but opted for Brutus by The Hives.

I also heard from Jim! It was hard to sleep last night. Jim and I have slept in the same bed every night for almost 10 years given that week he came out for his brothers graduation, we aren’t used to being apart. They are on their way back so yay!!

Why I like life sometimes

Friday, October 30th, 2009

I am a admitted music lover. If music were a person I would probably tackle it in a giant bear hug and never let it go. Well today is a good day. A very good day. I will explain why in a second but first I must give love to the bands who perked my interest in music again like never before.

Kiss Kiss, My favorite band

Dan Le Sac Vs. Scoorious Pip

Darla Farmer

Louis XIV

Ok now to this story. When I was young I lived a pretty lonely life. No brothers or sisters and my mom worked a lot. I would watch TV and even though I did not understand some shows I thought they were funny. One of those shows was The Adventures of Pete and Pete. I instantly fell in love with the younger Pete played by Danny Tamberelli and followed him to all the game shows he was on.

Now years have passed and I’ve heard he had a band. I wasn’t really interested, ya know, kiss kiss and all. Well today I just happened upon Jounce.org which happens to have Danny on Bass and vocals. Wow I thought to myself. This could be great! I listened to the songs they had up and they were good! I ended up buying their CD’s and now it’s time to play the waiting game.

I will update when the CD’s get here and let everyone know how they are. I’ve said this on myspace and I know most of you are tired of hearing it but BUY KISS KISS’ ALBUMS! THEY ARE AMAZING! DLS VS. SP IS AMAZING AS WELL, BUY IT NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. I’m watching you. Now go buy them.
