Goin Back

I was at Will's house yesterday watching Fuse TV and they started talking about Bad Religion and Social Distortion. Both bands I love, but I haven't listened to them since high school. Both are two of the most influential and longest running bands in punk rock history. The genre would not be the same if not for these two bands. I say all that to say this, some things never change....although it's been a while since I listened to them I love them both and I'm glad I had a chance to realize what I have been missing out on lately.
PS- Both are still two of the best live bands around! If anyone wants to get tickets and go see either one with me...let me know

New Songs

So it takes alot for to say a new song is one of my favorites but here are four songs that i think you should get off iTunes... "Teenagers" by: My Chemical Romance, "Insurance" by: The Higher "Misery Business" by: Paramore, and "Icky Thump" by: The White Stripes...so if you want something good to spend $4 on here ya go.

Am I The Only Person Who Likes The White Stripes?

So why is it that everyone I talk to says they hate The White Stripes? I don't know it's just kinda wierd. I realize that they are an aquired taste but I think they are cool and I really wanna go and buy the new CD. Jack White always brings something new and completely random and different to the table and I respect that. He also has some of the wierdest songs, lyrically and musically I have ever heard. So I just wanna say whether or not you like The White Stripes I honestly dont know, but I know that I like them.

From Cop Cars to Father's Day...and all the Ramblings in Between

So yea, this weekend was definately unforgettable. Me and Randy and Will were in the mall parking lot, Will did a little burnout and then the next thing we know Will is being arrested. The cop was a complete idiot and Will did not deserve that at all.....talk to me and i'll tell you the whole story later but it is just too long to post here. Anyways after that whole fiasco Randy and I went and saw the new and improved Triggerfish play. With a new drummer and lead guitar they were nothing short of amazing live...Jeremy Scruggs is an AMAZINg frontman and a goodfriend. If you ever get the chance go see them.

Now onto Saturday, well the day was chill I discovered a place in Powdersville called Atha's that rocked my face and stomach too, thanks Chris and Mandy. Then it was on to the show at The Lofts....it was one of my favorite playing experiences I have had thusfar, the crowd was really into everyone's music and that was great. If you were there thank you for supporting everyone not just me...and especially thanks for supporting Christina Im sure she appreciates it.

Sunday...big Father's Day, well I've learned over the years that no matter what happens to me good or bad my dad has always been there for me either waiting to correct, support, or comfort me. I love my dad, he is the greatest in the world and I thank God for giving me such a role-model and great father to look up to....everytime I look at my parents I have to thank God because he gave me some great ones. So yea that was this weekend, until next time...God Bless btw:Carpenter's was really great this morning....I feel like God is about to do something Huge there.

Summer

Summer can bring new stories and experiences to one's life...all this summer has seemed to bring me is new music(great), close friends(great), and depression from boredom(not so great). But O well, life has its ups and downs. Not everything is always gonna go your way. So you just gotta grab life by the balls and twist, lol...jk. But really though if life has got you down one thing that always makes me feel better is to start thanking God for everything he has done for me and for all he has given to me. After that I realize that being depressed is a waste of time.

There and Back Again

So I'm back from my weekend retreat to the lovely city of Nashville. I honestly hated to leave because Nashville is a mecca for singers and songwriters. I went up there and fought in a karate tournament, it turned out well i took third...which is not bad, its no first place but maybe next time. But other than fighting I went downtown to some local clubs and heard some of the best musicians i have ever heard in my life. These guys i saw were in it for the love, they only worked for only tips and they played great music. I did go to my version of a toy store....The Gibson Shop. I found my future Les Paul if anyone would like to lend me the $3400 it costs lol. But the highlight of the trip was going to the legendary bluebird cafe and hear a few up and coming writers and performers. Overall an amazing trip but of course I'm glad to be back. Speaking of singer/songwriters me and Josh Williams have to play a gig in Florence Sc this weekend. If anyone is near aroma underground saturday night please come in and hear us play.
