Tribe Time

i'm likin' our chances this year! it seems as if Buster Olney is picking the Indians to take the AL Central... again.

"i will mangle your mind"

i watched Velvet Goldmine last night, and i thought it was very very good. i had seen Hedwig and the Angry Inch a while before this one, but i think i like this one a little bit more. in my opinion, the music is a LOT better. i'll post a link to the soundtrack at the bottom. i really suggest checking out this movie and soundtrack, as well as Hedwig and the Angry Inch which is also excellent.



Velvet Goldmine Soundtrack

procrastination

right now i am putting off working on a first draft of an analysis paper that i should be writing for my english class, but i guess i shouldn't complain too much, because we had the opportunity to analyze any art we would like. of course i decided on a song that has been stuck in my head for weeks now. it's a cut off of Crime In Stereo's ...Is Dead album. in my mind "Nixon" is the stand out track. maybe it's because it's one of the fastest tracks, maybe it's Kristian Hallbert's vocal lines and lyrics, or maybe it's Alex Dunne's guitar leads, but i just can never get enough of that song or that album. if you've never heard it, i suggest checking it out.


Crime In Stereo - ...Is Dead

old friends, good fun

anticipating another weekend in OU i was pretty pessimistic, but it turned out being a lot of fun. Josh and i stayed with our friend Alex in his single dorm room, which wasn't actually too bad. we slept on the floor friday night, and kicked Alex out of his bed on saturday, and shared it. haha. friday we just hung out, listened to some folk punk, and chilled. saturday we went to a house show who are friends Max and Loren in Signals Midwest (or Signals Dickfest), and the Ghost of Asa Phelps played. it was a good time, a lot of craziness. and then just some more hangin' out. the community service at a thrift store wasn't too bad either.



and tonite i got a chance to catch up with Pete, Tim, Pat and Megan, which was a lot of fun. we sat around and watched Unsolved Mysteries on Spike and just hung out. i love seeing people from home so much. then i came back to Capital and hung out with Adam, Reid, Karen, Nikki, which was fun too. nights like these put me in such a good mood, but i can't help but miss some people.

homesick

when i found out at the beginning of this school year that A Day To Remember was putting out a new album this winter, i was stoked. and then once that i found out that the album title was Homesick, i about lost it. i really felt like that fit me, because being at school makes me miss being home so much.



i got a chance to hear the new album today, and it blew me away! i wasn't really sure if they could top For Those Who Have Heart for me, because i love that album, but Homesick is incredible. i know i'll be spinning it for a while. definitely try to get your hands on it before 2/3 which is it's release date, but if you can't, buy it, which i will be doing. these dudes know what's up.
