Built To Spill

There's nothing I would love more than to do an album review of Built To Spill. But sadly, I'm broke as joke. Want to know why?! Cause I was busy getting this little gem...

If you somewhat read my blog posts, this song by Modest Mouse (Float On) means a lot to me. It has gotten me through some of the most stressful times in my life, especially this year. I've been wanting to get this tattoo for years now and after this summer, and me finally having $150 to blow on a tattoo. I finally did it, and I am so happy I got it. 

So that's why I'm broke! But I'm totally okay with it.
Thank god for music streaming right? Even though it's horrible for record companies, but anyways!

As I was getting my tattoo, I was telling him how much the song meant to me and he asked if I've heard of Built To Spill. I haven't, so here I am listening to them while I'm writing this blog post and I love them!

They do have a Modest Mouse feel to them, like it's Modest Mouse' young brother or something. Haha. But a little more edgy. The way they harmonize their voices, and the vocals a little bit too. Of course they do have their own little twist on things. Where have I been this entire time and not known about this band?!

Next payday, you bes' believe I'm going to buy a few of their albums!

If you've been living under a rock like me, you should definitely check these guys out!

Flashback Friday!!

Remember that white jamaican guy who used to be featured in hip-hop/pop songs?

You member! 

Everyone knows who he is, even if you didn't listen to his music.

You member!

He disappeared somewhere. He like, dropped off the face of the music industry. 

Gone...gone forever.....

WHERE ARE YOU SEAN PAUL!?!!

Actually I think he's married to someone.

Anyway, here a flashback for ya...

Isn't crazy how when you listen to it, you know exactly where you were in your life when you heard this song. Crazy stuff.

I'll just leave you to ponder that.

Your welcome!

This maybe just me, but...

I absolutely hate it when bands have music videos and all the camera or director focuses on is the lead singer.

When the director doesn't show the band at all, or maybe just a small flash to them and then back to the lead singer. Then the rest of the music video is just the lead singer. Or how about when they do show all of the band, but it's only when their playing their instruments.

What the heck man?!

It's all about the whole band, not just the lead singer.
Sure the lead singer may be more attractive then the rest of the band.
But you gotta show everyone else's talent too, ya know?
I think that's is what everyone loses sight on.
The every band member could be ridiculously attractive, like jaw-dropping, were-you-sent-down-from-the-heavens hot.
But their music could totally suck and make babies cry.
They will still sell a million copies because that's all everyone cares about.

It's a sad day for all the real music lovers out there.

To see what I'm talking about, here's some music videos:
( Some these bands are not what I particularly listen to )

Eisley-Smarter

Paramore- Brick By Morning Brick

I See Stars- Murder Mitten

THE WHO HAS RELEASED A NEW TRACK!!

Once again, another legendary rock band has graced us after 8 years with their new track "Be Lucky".

The Who is back and still rocks our hearts!

Throughout the song Roger Daltrey refers to the french DJ's, Daft Punk and australian rockers, AC/DC.
One could say that The Who is back and ready to diss everyone. Haha
Which is actually entertaining, considering I am a fan of all three artists.

Here are some lyrics to the new track "Be Lucky", and you will see what I am talking about.

AC/DC diss:

“You wanna climb without a safety line/

 AC/DC’s gonna be fine,” 

“If you want to want to sell/ you’ve got to kiss and tell/  

And you’ve got to do a cover of Highway to Hell.”

And for Daft Punk:

 “You want to climb without a safety line/ 

Daft Punk will tell you that it’s gonna be fine.” 

Then Roger Daltrey proceeds to autotune his voice, like Daft Punk's.

So all in all even if they are dissing, they are still amazing at what they do. And Pete Townsend is still a god on guitar. 

Here's the new track from The Who, "Be Lucky".

AC/DC HAS A NEW ALBUM IN DECEMBER!!

Guess who's freakin' stoked!? THIS GIRL.

It's going to be call 'Rock or Bust'.

But unfortunately, along with the news about the new album, came the new about guitarist, Malcolm Young will not be recording with the band, due to illness. This will be the first time in AC/DC's 41 year history without their founding guitarist.

Regardless, I'm sure it is still going to be awesome, and I am so excited to hear it.
The 1 minute teaser, has the roaring vocals, smooth guitar riffs and the rocking out we always loved.

Below is where the new track is very sneakly (probably not a word, but you still understood it!) hid it in the new MLB's postseason commercial.

AREN'T YOU EXCITED?!!?

Well, you should be.
