MEDIA OVERLOAD!

Yo! What’s poppin!? I’m keeping this short, but I’m putting a ton of shit in this.

Firstly! I’ve apparently mastered the Sierra Emerge lurk. This year though, I’m gonna be her date for at least one day of Warped Tour this year. You just go ahead and text me or whatever it is that you do to communicate with the cute boys(that’s me) while you’re out all busy and shit. I saw you were in AP shawty. Lookin right!

Second! SkyEatsAirplane put out a new EP and it’s really good. It’s called “The Sound of Symmetry” and I pilfered a track to put on here for you to listen to/download.
SkyEatsAirplane – The Sound of Symmetry

Part C! Beamer Benz or Bentley is such a good song. On Fabolous’ mixtape with DJ Drama aka Barack O’Drama…the track is present. Here it is, also for listen/download.
Fabolous – Beamer Benz or Bentley feat Juelz Santana

LASTLY! Ophira broke up, but I like the instrumentals for their songs. Here’s one:
Ophira – Teachings(Instrumental)

SO MUCH MEDIA! PEACE!

P.S – Summer goals: Make out with @SierraVE, @TayAllDay, & @OfficialKat…and then promptly commit suicide. A nigga can’t get any higher than that, so time to die! At least, a nigga like me can’t get higher…since I don’t get high and all…

Music I Care About

Hey guys.

I’ve been cruising the internet a lot lately and have been finding out a lot of bands that I like are coming out with new shit soon. I guess I’ll start buy saying that Skyeatsairplane has an ep out, or coming out…something like that. Anyway, they posted a new song on MySpace, and it ain’t half bad: www.myspace.com/skyeatsairplane

Secondly, I’ve learned that one of my favorite groups, 65daysofstatic is coming out with a new album. I am really digging the cover design. Simple. That’s what I’m into these days. Album’s called “We Were Exploding Anyway” and here’s the design:

Thirdly, Vanna hopped on some of the Warped Tour this summer. I was going to go anyway to make out with Sierra(@sierraVE), but going to see Vanna is certainly an added plus. Stoked and a half for that.

Alright guys. I guess that’s it. OH! One more thing! In an effort to increase the awesomeness of my band, E.V.A., I’m taking donations to get new equipment. What I’m primarily trying to buy is an Akai MPD, A Rane SL-1, at least one good turntable, and a MacBook Pro. It’s going to be expensive, but those are my goals. If you guys can donate anything to me, that’d be dope. Drop it in a nigga’s paypal or something!


Alright! BYE!

Final Fantasy 13 is TOMORROW!

Hey guys.

Tomorrow, Final Fantasy 13 comes out and I’m very excited about it. One cool, but not very cool thing about this game is that it isn’t system specific and is located not only on the PS3, but on the Xbox360. I prefer the brand loyalty over it being on X360. Here’s the most recent trailer:

Hope you enjoyed. Later.

PS – Another thing to be stoked about is SkyEatsAirplane’s upcoming EP.

Tell Me A Secret

Hello everyone! How are things going? The weather has been especially nice here in SC over the past few days with temperatures in the middle 60s, so I’ve been…working, actually. Been working during the nice weather.

How have your resolutions that you started at the beginning of the year been going? I’ve been able to stay pretty on track this year, I’ve been making a lot of spreadsheets indicating things I want to do and how much I have reached them and whatnot. Writing things down, or in my case typing them out, makes things a lot easier to keep in mind because you have a physical reminder of what you’re actually trying to accomplish. I’m sure in you’re mind you’re thinking “typing it out won’t help at all because all you have to do is close the file, and if it’s out of sight, then it’s out of mind”, but it’s my desktop background. I switched my picture of Naruto Uzumaki out so that I could have goals. Just kidding, I’d never cover up Naruto.

Everyone has their favorite websites, whether it be youtube, twitter, facebook, or anything like that…and a new one that’s been popping up is this formspring nonsense. The essential point of formspring is that you can ask someone a question, any question, anonymously, and then they answer it to this anonymous person and it’s posted on their profile. Primarily this website is a tool for people to indirectly try and get with girls by anonymously telling them all of these awesome qualities or for people to basically send hate mail anonymously. Those are cool. Here’s some of my favorite questions I’ve received:
1. Ever stepped in dog shit, then brought it in the house all over the carpet?
2. Have you ever put a dogs poop in a brown bag; placed it on someones porch, lit it on fire, rang the bell & then ran?
3. Is your shit soft or hard?
4. Have you ever smelled one of your friends shits?
5. do you look at your shits before you flush?
6. Have you ever taken a picture of one of your shits then called a bunch of your friends to come look at it?
G. Your penis nearly split me in two last time we had sex. Why?
You see what I’m saying? It’s just like…I’m at the doctor. That’s probably how I would explain my personal formspring. It’s mostly where girls get called sluts and dudes get hated on. Lots of fun. Everyone should get one.

So, there has been speculation of new MacBook Pro models rolling out soon, and I’m quite excited for that. My main purpose of buying a mac is so that I can screenshare with Taylor Stradling and steal pictures from her computer to post onto my website while she’s out doing her thing in SoFlo. In case you guys forgot, she’s beautiful. There’s everything but confirmation that the new Intel processors will be in the computers. The core series. I’m really stoked, it’ll make my band and my life better. I need iChat partners, so start dropping your screenames now so that I can build my repertoire up now. If you guys are interested in the new processors, called the core series…let me know. I’ll give you my basic explanation that I give people at work about it:
There’s a single core processor and a dual core processor, as we all know. So with the dual core, there’s straight up dual core which is 2 processors, and a simulated dual core which is one processor that acts as 2. The core series is 2, or even 4(for the upper core i5 and the core i7) of the simulated dual core processors, giving you 4 or 8-way processing.

My band is coming out with a few new shirt designs, as well as shorts for the ladiez soon. Also, we’re well in the process of writing for our next EP. We’re trying to just put out a lot of EPs so that we can cut out the filler and only provide you with hits. In case you guys are confused about anything I have said, please listen to our first EP in it’s entirety on our myspace, or feel free to purchase a physical copy from our online store:

Here’s a small secret to one of my goals this year that I’ve been doing for the past few weeks. Something called “$2 Tuesdays” on this website called “The Blackmarkers”. Every tuesday, they put up a couple of things from their website up for $2, and you can purchase it at that price with the coupon code the provide on twitter. I’ve been doing it a lot lately. Hopefully not too many people jock me and get the OTHER shirt they post up. Haha. They have a lot of dope shit, don’t sleep on it.

Now that I’ve let out a few of my secrets, remember that they don’t make friends…and go make some friends.

PS – SkyEatsAirplane(STILL one word) is almost finished with the recording process of their new record, and I, for one, and stoked as fuck.
PPS – tell me a secret
PPPS – if you don’t listen to Trophy Scars, you’re a fool.

Sad Sad Times

28.07.2009 (11:42 pm) – Filed under: Music

Hey guys. I don’t have too much to say, but the shit I am gonna say is important to me.
Maybe not to you, and I don’t give a fuck about that, but to me, it is of the utmost importance.

A bit ago, Vanna’s vocalist, Chris Preece, quit the band. Statement below:

I just sat here for a few minutes trying to think of a clever way to open this statement, but realized it’s probably best to keep it as honest as possible. After this tour, I will no longer be in Vanna.

I know this will come with a good amount of initial shock but if I can I’d like to preempt at least some of that shock by saying that the decision is based entirely on personal reasons and has absolutely nothing to do with drama of any sort.

Needless to say, the hardest part of this process will be leaving a group of guys who I am proud to call my brothers and best friends. Everyone involved has been understanding and supportive far beyond my expectations.

The silver lining in all of this is that we have already found a replacement, Davey Muise, and there is no doubt that our fans and friends will approve enthusiastically. He has been a great friend of ours for a long time, and we couldn’t be happier. Davey will be with us for the remainder of the tour doing vocals on “Trashmouth” and meeting all of the Vannimals. I encourage everyone to come see it for yourself. You won’t be let down, I promise.

As for me, I am moving home to Austin, TX to spend time with my family and pursue other interests. The last three and a half years have easily been the most exciting and fun years of my life and I am forever grateful for the opportunities I have been given. Thanks to everybody who has been there with me, I love all of you.

Now everyone knows that Vanna is one of my favorite bands, so that was a bummer to me. I’m just glad they have a new vocalist. Hopefully that’s going well. I should be seeing them soon.

ASIDE FROM THAT HUGE FUCKING BUMMER, there was an even larger bummer that I found on MySpace today. Jerry Roush, the vocalist from SkyEatsAirplane, quit his band. What am I going to do now? Newer newer Vanna and now newer newer SkyEatsAirplane? Tis a sad fucking day. Here’s their MySpace blog:

After touring for the past two years together, SEA and our singer Jerry Roush have decided to part ways. We hate to see him go, but our creative differences make this the best option for everyone. We are still on good terms and wish Jerry good luck with whatever he chooses to do. As for the rest of the band, SEA is pushing on with a ton of new material: Zack and I (Lee) are going to be flying up to Travis’ practice space up in Delaware to write killer riffs and to start jamming on the new stuff in the near future.

We appreciate you, our fans, sticking with us through this. We can’t wait to show you everything we’ve been working on! And as far as the singing spot we have open, if you are interested please contact us at singforSEA@gmail.com . Thanks!

Lee

…and on that note, I bid you good day. Please post your thoughts on the situation at hand.
