That being said, everyone seemed to like the guest blogs so I'll probably try and get a few more on here at some point. Its always nice to get someone's opinion. I'd love to be able to pull someone in that is a bit more conservative maybe. Someone who can shed a positive spin on the FCC or Bush issues. And NO not so I can argue. I think its a good idea for people to get both sides of the story so they can make an educated decision. So many times i hear folks echoing things they've heard around the water cooler. They don't really take the time to read the paper or watch the news. They hear something said in passing and latch onto it. So I'm all for trying to provide some sort of even information on the subjects that I tend to over-spout about.
I'm not sure how the weather has been where YOU are but its been like a roller coaster round here. Last week we got up to over 80 degrees and then two days laters its in the forties. Today there is sun peeking through but my system is so screwed up. I woke up with a head fulla snot and i"m either being stricken with allergies, a curse, or a cold. I'm hoping on the first...if not the first then the second cause I don't need a stinkin' cold. I"m wondering if this is that kooky global warming ozone nightmare that everyone has been talking about. I half expect ice bergs to be parked off the coast of new jersey...
I have a question for you guys and this is going to take a group effort. I'm am at a COMPLETE stand-still as far as new music. I listen to the radio stations from time to time and I"m having trouble finding something new that I like. For instance, I heard a band called Burden Brothers. This band consists of the lead singer from the now-defunct Toadies, as well as members of Ministry, Izzy Stradlin/GNR, and a few other odd bands. Let me just go on the record here to say I think GnR is terrible. I can't stand Ministry and Izzy Stradlin wants to be Keith Richards so goddamned bad that he's talking about getting hooked on heroin just for the experience. BUUUUUT, the music I heard was really really good. The tune I heard was called "Beautiful Night" and I really liked it but other than that I'm not really hearing a ton of new stuff that interests me. Another band I am really taking a liking to is Muse. Kinda old-radiohead-ish with a few quirky outbursts from time to time. New Starsailor disk is killer! And Hoobastank...ya know if those guys had a different name they'd be superstars by now. That single "The Reason" is perfect. ITS PERFECT!!! Every song on BOTH of their albums is a hit but the band name is just a little too high on the cringe factor....THE NAME!!!! So for the sake of keeping new music alive, please post a comment on the board and tell me what you're listening to. This is an opportunity to get new music in other people's hands. post, suckas!!!
OH...coming next week...more bubba stories!!!! Its been a while and I thought it would be fun to jump back into that one so stay tuned.
