so it's been a little over a week since i turned 28 and this birthday was one of the better ones in recent memory (minus not hearing from a couple of folks i kind of expected to...oh well), definitely since i've been down in charleston. so while i don't do sappy well (or at all really), i would like to thank anyone that wished me a happy birthday via text, twitter, or facebook. the facebook posts were a little overwhelming so i didn't try to respond to everyone but they didn't go unnoticed. big thanks to everyone that was a part of that surprise party the sunday before (you scared the shit out of me btw) and those that came out on valentines day to have a drink with me.
ok, enough of that. since no new music has been released lately that i care about i have no idea what to really write about and i always feel odd just talking about what's going on in my life ( i just assume those that are intrigued have my number and can get a hold of me) but i will mention a couple of things i'm stoked about.
one, merchants finally has something somewhat properly recorded. we wanted music for folks to hear prior to the show next week so they can decide to either love or hate us, so we setup a bunch of mics last night at practice and tried to play the songs as best as we could. below, in all it's raw, mistake filled glory (mostly mine), are a few of the songs recorded last night. it should update as we add tracks.
also, i start my volunteer work with the charleston miracle league next saturday. super stoked on that. baseball and helping kids with disabilities play baseball is right up my alley. it'll be nice to get back into physically volunteering since the past few of years i've only provided monetary donations.
music wise, i'm just waiting on ETID's "Ex-Lives" to drop on the 6th (video below because it's awesome and i like posting it) and listening to as cities burn's "hell or high water" album a lot....and i mean a lot. the opening track for that album, ''84 sheepdog", is one of my all-time favorite songs. since that's the album opener, i tend to continue listening to the rest of the album. which brings me to track two, "errand rum", which has one of my favorite lines written.
was i really listening or was i just waiting for my turn to talk?so simple. so awesome. i've put vids to those two songs below too, so give it a listen, you may find something you enjoy.
