I Could Think of a Better Time
Good morning guys.
Today is my 21st birthday. If you’re my friend, text me or something. I’m sitting in a town where I don’t know anyone with a band of dudes that a barely know recording an album. That’s the life, I guess.
On my birthday, especially my 21st, shouldn’t I be out doing something like getting drunk? Naw. You see what I’m doing — Blogging.
I’m still in NY recording this album, but I suppose I’ll grace you with some of my latest thoughts.
You guys ever heard of a band called “Lydia”? It’s some female-fronted indie band from Arizona.
Now, if you guys haven’t learned anything from my Sierra rants, it’s that I love female fronted bands…hell, I just love females…but I think Lydia has been played out in my eyes. They aren’t bad. I think that the style they use for their songs is very repetitive and played. I’m listening to them right now, so that I can accurately say shit. I’d reccommend them to my hip friends. Here, hip friends…listen to Lydia:

My guitarist is really into them, and I’m just so fucking tired of listening to them.
I don’t know if you guys know, but I’m a pretty big fan of Dance Gavin Dance. I’m listening to them right now, in fact. Their new album, which isn’t titled, should be dropping soon. I’m sure you’re expecting me to have some exclusive bullshit, but my pirate game has been lacking lately…so I’ll instead tell you about the band that their new vocalist, Jonny Craig’s, new band. The band he in isn’t new, but he’s completely flipped their script.
Y’all niggas ever heard of ‘Emarosa’? That’s them. The achieved fame from a song called “Utah (but I’m taller)”. That’s such an ill song title, btw. Well, they went from being a pretty heavy posthardcore band to a poppier sound with the switching of vocalists.
Here’s a video of Utah, from November of last year PLEASE listen all the way to that breakdown at the end:

Here’s a video of them playing exactly one week before today:

Anyway….Emarosa’s new album, “Relativity”, is a good CD, but in my mind….not Emarosa.
Anyone else vote for a name change or something?
Speaking of name change, here’s what Urban Dictionary had to say about Ashlee Simpson:
Ashlee Simpson
V.
To sing without moving your mouth or holding your mic.ex – “I was having some real bad acid reflux so I Ashlee Simpsoned last night.”
I’m gonna tell you now, as funny as that is, I love the girl. She couldn’t beat Sierra in a fight…but I mean…Lil Wayne couldn’t beat Sierra in a fight.
And with that, I talked about a bunch of music.
I’m supposed to blog about this girl:

And with the video…she just blogged about herself. But I told y’all before that I just love half black myspace girls…
I’ll see y’all later.
PS – Do you want to be annoyed, but not annoyed at the same time by the electronic hardcore about video games?
