Well

I know I haven't posted in probably over a week. There's not much to talk about. I set up a last.fm, so that keeps track of what I listen to. Thus, I shall not post a whole list anymore. Instead I'll summarize my most listened to one or two artists.

1. Patton Oswalt: Yes, my most played artist is a stand up comedian. So be it, laughter and music are therapeutic, they go hand in hand. Anyway, this dude is hilarious, just look him up on Youtube.

2. Rocky Votolato: Folky musician that I listen to when I really need to be brought up. Makers is the perfect record for the snow.

3. Saves the Day: Mmmmmmmm Chris Conley in six days :). I can't wait. I love these guys, I learned like 12 of their songs Friday.



Yesterday I borrowed a Vox Satchurator pedal from my local guitar store, and I must say, I can't stand it. I'm much happier with Channel 2 of my amp. It's a Vox amp anyways.

This week I listened to...

Right Away, Great Captain! - The Eventually Home (indie folk)
Kevin Devine - Split the Country, Split the Street (acoustic rock)
Kevin Devine - Put Your Ghost to Rest (acoustic rock)
.moneen. - The Red Tree (alternative rock)

This week

was okay, but gradually downhill up until this morning, when I almost crashed my car. It's not because I'm a bad driver, I'm really pretty good. I just wasn't paying attention. I knew going to church wouldn't be good. Anyway, the soundtrack to my near miss was:

And I've been reading David Sedaris' Me Talk Pretty One Day, its good.

Right now I got Wu Tang on. Good stuff.

It's been a busy week, but the Steelers made it okay with a huge win today. They look like a championship team again.

Wow

So I just realized I haven't posted in over a week. What can I say? I've been busy. I spent most of today playing acoustic and listening to Dashboard haha. I also made $17 throwing bails of hay onto a truck. Only in Eighty Four.

This week the main records I spun were:
Anything Dashboard
You Me and Everyone We Know's So Young, So Insane
Thrice's Vheissu
In Reverent Fear's Stomacher (they're AMAZING writers)
Bayside's Shudder
Conor Oberst's S/T

Shad's The Old Prince

I think me and Matt are gonna go see Matt Pryor (TGUK), Chris Conley (Saves the Day), Anthony Raneri (Bayside), and Dustin Kensrue (Thrice) in January. We ARE going to see Manchester Orchestra in a few weeks :)

For now I'll just leave it at that. Hopefully I'll post soon. Indoor drumline starts this week!
