I actually stole this from somebody on Facebook, but I only take things I like... The cut hides my top favorite albums of 2009 - the albums I spent all Summer listening to nonstop and have been most influential for me. Included is a link to the download of the whole album, because if there's one thing I love more than music is sharing the music ( Read more... )

I totally am taking this idea from Cat Cummins, because I like it...

Here's my playlist of winter songs you can listen to. They just kinda fit in with that despondent feeling that rolls in with the winter as everything is turning grey and white and cold. They tend to soothe my melancholy angst. lol.

( Seventeen songs for when you're feeling down during these colder days to come. )

OMFG I've been so busy. New job at Starbucks (which I'm working my ass off), so much homework, Men's A Capella and the Radio Show (The Coffee House with Matt Bradley every Tuesday night 10-12 on WTLX), and they great fraternal stuff.

I'm making a big purchase soon. I mean, the whole reason I got a job was so I could afford to do this... Yes, I am ( Read more... )

So I know I'm working a lot. I mean, I'm taking on Work Study, Starbucks, and a job singing at St. Raphael's choir - which I've been invited to starting this Sunday. And that's a considerable amount of income. I know exactly what I'm going to spend it on, too. Instruments. Damn straight. First a banjo, then hopefully a Great Highland Bagpipe. It's ( Read more... )

Someday my pain, someday my pain
Will mark you
Harness your blame, harness your blame
And walk through

With the wild wolves around you
In the morning, I'll call you
Send it farther on

Solace my game, solace my game
It stars you
Swing wide your crane, swing wide your crane
And run me through

And the story's all over you
In the morning i'll call you
Can't you ( Read more... )

 Playing Bon Iver songs is costing me a lot of money with all the guitar strings I break. But god damnit it's so good.

 Spending this summer writing music, and it feels good. I just wish I could come up with a decent melody for the vocals every now and then, but it seems that the guitar work is no problem. I've been collaberating with fellow musicians, relatives, and writers to help add to the quality of the sound.

I've just been listening to new music all summer, ( Read more... )

 Why do we immortalize celebrities like we do? We make them bigger than life, they seem so invincible... When we're proven wrong we are left standing in disbelief. We all have made a Michael Jackson joke every now and then... Maybe because we believed he would never die. And that is why we mourn so much when he does.

And all the tribute we're ( Read more... )

I feel like this summer is going to be a good summer. I'm working 40 hours per week at a job I actually don't mind going to every morning (even waking up at 6:30 for). I work with friends at Transylvania's Paint Crew. It's a physically demanding job, but I get to listen to my music. It does get tiring... Some days I can't even stay awake to do ( Read more... )

Well, the WoW servers are down for the morning, so why not put my free computer time to good use and write an LJ entry? I know, use to be that guy who poked fun at the WoW kids, persuading myself, "Paying money to play a game? Hell nah, I'll never be like that." I love it when I contradict myself... I am keeping a well balance between my social ( Read more... )
