Need something from all of you....

Hey all, just trying to expand my music collection, let me know if you know an artist I should check out.

Thanks!

Not that Im complaining...

Wow, it just doesnt seem to stop now....

yesterday was a 16 earned hours day.... granted I only worked 9, but wow, its such a bounce back from earlier this month. The last week and this one have been quite odd for January I think.

I had written a big long post while sitting behind my spot light the other night, but unless I did it up and it strikes me as having some sort of merit I doubt I'll post it.

Oh and everyone, lets get out there and try to help the people at the Washington Post who are attempting to organize with the Communication Workers of America(CWA). They are fighting to get better conditions, it is a noble cause!

NYC

Sounds like Im heading to NYC for a final interview with Acme Sound Partners. It should be alot of fun. Then off to the road a short time after.

People should come to my going away party when I throw it.

No Country for Old Men

I don't know.....


I'm confused.....

and ow why would any one work on their own bodies surgically, really!

Abortion

Hey everyone, Ive got a solution to one of todays big debates.

All you pro lifer's, Don't have abortions, and keep it to your self.

All you pro choicer's, Have abortions if you feel its necessary, and keep it to your self.

Is that really all that hard? Why do people feel that its important to force others to believe the way they believe? Do what you believe and let others do what they believe, as long as your beliefs don't infringe upon my right to have my beliefs Im happy to hear you have beliefs, I just don't wanna know what they are.

Battles-Mirrored

Album: Mirrored
Band: Battles
Tracks: 11
Top Single: Atlas

This album is the result of 4 gentlemen from different musical backgrounds coming together to attempt to generate a sound unlike what most have heard prior to. Driven by the thunderous pulse of John Stanier (drums; ex Helmet/Tomahawk), and punctuated by the live vocal samplings of Tyondai Braxton (vocals, guitar, keys; Son of Anthony Braxton), this experimental rock album certainly is a must have for any music lover.

Battles is unique, when compared to similarly processed music, in the fact that the drums remain almost untouched by the digitizing that the remainder of the band undertakes, giving the band a very a very organic feel, even with the ability for Stanier's ability to play with almost drum machine like precision.

With out seeing this group live, I would have almost been convinced that this music was solely the work of studio programming, because of how tight, and in sync with each other Battles plays. It is truly a sight to see and hear, when Battles plays live, the live elements being blended with sampled pieces (which are created on the spot!) is absolutely masterful.

One thing I would like to see come from this group is a remixing of their music done into a surround sound version. Battles really has knocked it out of the park with this offering!

The road and reviews....

So, the basic Idea for this blog is to have some way to jot down my thoughts while Im on the road, and to try to post reviews of movies, music and various other forms of media. Could be interesting, or could be completely bland.


Check back for more coming up soon......
