Well, once again, its been ages since I did anything with this thing, but Im back with not much once again.....
Um....Im going to see Senses Fail, Saves the Day, Early November, and Emmanuel in Allentown Monday.....should be a good time....um....I spent all day today cleaning and waxing my truck, it looks wonderful.
Oh, I may have added some pics to my archive, and I DID add another Arsons wallpaper, I think its pretty rad. Theres 2 versions of it, with minor changes... there ya go.
Update: September 11th
Wow, its been awhile since I've updated this thing. Well, I decided to save my own bandwidth, and use Webshots. So, I got a ton of pics up there, including The Arsons, 311, Papa Roach, and Unwritten Law, so check them out HERE, or the link at the top of the page.
In other news, the "Firefly" spin-off called Serenity come out this month, and Im very excited. Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel creator) directing, and the same cast as in the show, so its gotta be great.
Update: July 21st
Well, the new CKY cd is great, better than IDR in my opinion.
Im working on getting more pictures up, I have my Reel Big fish pics, and my ARsons pics. I dont feel like going through the effort of thumbnailing them, so Im making a new photobucket account. Thats all for now.
PEace.
Update: June 22th
First, check out the nike Sucks thing there. Uh, other than that, theres not anything as far as updates, except that the new CKY album comes out this coming Tuesday, and what Ive heard so far, its gonna be the best cky album to date. Check it out.
Update: June 5th
Well, well, well.....if it isnt me again.....its been awhile, but fear not, I am back. Lets see, since we last left off, I saw RBF whic was great, Revenge of the Sith came out, that was great as well, and my show was a total failure. Ok, maybe not COMPLETE, but it didnt go near as well as I had hope. Still, all the bands were cool about the small turn out, and the Arsons cranked as per usual. Ive got the whole 35 minute arsons set, which im in the process of cutting up as we speak, so that will be coming soon....thats it for now.
Update: April 10th
FINALLY!!!! I'm gonna be able to see Reel Big FIsh again, this time at the Recher in Towson, which ROCKS!! I love that place, its so small, and the accoustics are amazing. and speaking of RBF, their new cd, "we're not happy til You're not happy" IS amazing, I give it a 5 out of 5....amazing....if you like good music, get it.
Peace out.
Update: March 23rd
Its been a few weeks, since an update. I've been busy with work and other nonsense. I'm putting a forum and chat here, just because I feel like it. I havent made any wallpapers or anything like that, sorry. Im sure youre all very saddened by that.
Update: March 11th
ITS FINALLY BACK UP!! After several weeks, my bandwidth meter has finally reset, and, at least for the moment, Im back in business. As a result of my bandwidth being eaten up so quickly, I unfortunately have to take down the "Holiday" video. To my knowledge, its available from greendayauthority.com, so go eat their bandwidth up.
I am working on getting my pictures of Bottomline scanned in, and they should be up by the end of the weekend.
Update: 9:48 PM
After many hours of seatching (shut up, Im a loser, I know) I finally found the NEW trailer for
"Revenge of the Sith". It looks so great, I can not wait til it finally comes out. Anyone who knows me know how big of a part Star Wars has been to me, so, anyway, click on the poster image to watch the theatrical trailer for Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith....enjoy. (or right click, save as)
Update: February 22th
Well, I screwed up, and wiped my guestbook away.........so, if you signed the guestbook before, PLEASE feel free to sign it again...... this time I gave it it own link and everything.
Update: February 20th
The show Friday was a friggin blast, all 3 bands were awesome, I was especially impressed with TheStart, more so than Bottom Line, but Bottom Line were really good. Got to meet John and Brian from Goldfinger, and Aimee from theStart, so that was cool. I took tons of pictures as usual (no problems with getting the camera in). I took 5 rolls of pictures, so its gonna take me awhile to get all of them up, but I'll get them all up by the weekend.
Update: 11:43 PM
Got all theStart pics loaded and linked and everything, so check them out too.
Heres the setlist I got signed by Brian and John from Goldfinger, plus one of Brians guitar pics
Update: February 14th
Well, I got my Goldfinger cd in the mail today, so I'll review that right.........now!
CD Review:
Well, let me start off by saying, contrary to popular belief, "Disconnection Notice" is not a HUGE change of pace for Goldfinger, that pace being slower....and poppier. If you take the poppiest songs of "Open Your Eyes", slapped in a few slow paced ska tunes, youll get "Disconnection Notice". What it doesnt have are the fast paced punk songs, which is a shame, but certainly doesnt make this album any less great. Some of these songs really are the best of Goldfingers career, especially "Behind the Mask", which is one of the ska/ reggae songs. Its a animal rights song, mixed with spoken word bits about the horrors of slaughter houses. Since this is a subject close to my own heart, I really love this song, however, people who dont care about animal right probably will be put off by the spoken word portions. A few of the real stand out tracks are "Damaged", "Ocean Size", and "Wasted" (the current single off the album). The only real throw away track is the last song, "Stalker". Its a really cheesy song, with some really terrible lyrics, but the "oh oh's" make it stand out, and are the only real redeemable thing about it. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this cd. Im even more excited about seeing them Friday, so I can hear some of these songs live. Oh, and if you were too cheap to preorder....you missed out on 2 buttons, a sticker, and an autographed cd booklet. ***** 5 stars
Update: February 8th
Well, I must be doing something right, because Im just about out of bandwidth.....looks like I have just enough to make it a month, so thats cool. Must be the Holiday video....... Anyway, as far as updates to the site go, I added a new wallpaper. for
The Bloodhound Gang.
Oh, I guess I'll brag a little bit here ( sorry, im just really excited about it.). I got a new quad. Its a 2004 Yamaha Raptor 660R, with a slip on Yoshimura pipe.
Update: February 3rd
Well, no real updates, just thought Id mention that there HAVE been no updates because Suscom was being stupid, and I couldnt view my site for the last few weeks, but apparently, it back to normal. Oh, and it looks like Im gettin a new quad, a 2004 660 Raptor, I go in tomorrow to sign the loan papers at 2. Im buying it locally, so I dont have to worry about someone on Ebay screwing me over. Thats all. "Goldfinger Week" is coming up in 2 weeks, with the album release and show in Philly, so stay tuned for more concert pics.
Im also gonna start writing cd reviews when i get new cds. Hopefully my having to do work every time I buy a cd will slow my buying of them.....I buy too many cds.
CD Reviews:
This is Unwritten Law's 5th album, and they are still amazing. It isnt much of a departure from "Elva", its got a good mix of heavy and mellower tracks. There are some cheesy lyrics, and a few of the songs sound VERY similar to one another, but all in all, its a good cd. Too bad they had to cancel their tour, I cant wait to here these songs, especially "Get up" live. **** 4 stars
I was never a huge Papa Roach fan, I liked some of "Infest", and liked a lot of "lovehatetragedy". On "GAWM", they dropped the rap-rock completely, and wrote some truly great hard rock/ screamo songs. Theres even a few slower, ballad-like songs, and these are really the best on the album, but the heavy, guitar heavy tracks rock. Jacoby Shaddix has really learned to sing well since "lovehatetragedy", and his voice is...dare I say...beautiful, especially on "Scars". This is a truly great cd. The first single, and title track really dont do the rest of the album justice. I highly recomend this cd. ***** 5 stars
Update: January 25th
I was bored today, so I made another wallpaper, this time for Op Ivy, check it out. I'm sorta running out of ideas for bands to make wallpapers for, so if you have a request, I'll make it.
Update: January 24th
Well, we got some pretty good snow, not as much as predicted, but it was still enough to have to shovel....so it sucked. But there was some fun to be had, took the quads out Saturday and Sunday
( public roads are so much fun to ride on).
Anywho, as far as site updates, I changed the buttons, and added another wallpaper, this time one for
The Arsons. Its not really my best work, but itll do til I get a proper one finished. Thats it, I guess.
Update: January 23rd
Im sick of people asking me for the Holiday video, so I uploaded it today, so if you want it, just download it. Dont ask for it on AIM or MSN, im just gonna tell you to go to my site.
edit: Its actually a pretty quick download, faster than i thought it would be.
Update: January 21st
Well, lets see, um...well, its supposed to snow like crazy the next couple of days, so hopefully I'll be able to take the Raptor out on the roads.....so hopefully no work tomorrow.
It's cold enough to freeze the balls off of a brass porch monkey here, and its only gonna get colder.
On different subject, Ive been listening to pretty much nothin but Senses Fail the last few week.....theyre so great,
Im really hopin I can make it to Taste of Chaos tour, but its a week after the Goldfinger show, so I dont know how thats gonna mess with my work schedule.
