Shows!

I saw Julien-K at Vinyl last night. It's this new place that opened at the Hard Rock Casino in Vegas and it just happened to be opening night also. It's a pretty sweet venue. It's small, smaller than the House of Blues in Vegas which is pretty small. But it's long, so it's like a skinny tall rectangle. The picture below shows how short the stage is and there is no barrier! I've never been to a show where they didn't have at least one muscular bald dude standing guard. It's really awesome it's like the band is right in your face the entire time.

Opening band was Battle Tapes who are actually quite good. Usually the opening bands suck or they're just boring and I want to get on to the real excitement.
And now...Julien-K






Haha I loved that I got a picture of him smiling, he only did that like once.
And the video I always take even though the sound sucks, but I think this video is awesome because I got him dancing and its soo fun to see him dance, just turn the sound down.

his freaky deep voice has grown on me

There's a radio station that I haven't listened to in a while and so I decided to listen to it for a few days and they keep playing this song, "Still Counting" by Volbeat. At first I didn't like it because I'm not a huge fan of really deep voices and the way his voice keeps going up and down just annoyed me. But the radio station kept playing the song, I swear it was on every time I turned the radio on. I like to think that there were evil minions that kept pushing replay and saying "You're going to listen to it until you like it!"

And that is how his freaky deep voice grew on me.

Then I went on youtube because when people have voices like that I always want to see what they look like and found this awesome cover.

Upcoming CDs

I just found out today that Billy Talent is coming out with a new CD! I don't know why I haven't heard about it yet, but they already have two singles out, Viking Death March and Surprise, Surprise. The album is called Dead Silence and it comes out September 7, 2012.

September is a good month. Blaqk Audio is also coming out with a new album (finally) after postponing the release date over and over, but I'm just glad it's finally done and super happy.

The album is Bright Black Heaven and is coming out September 11, 2012. Many songs have been released, but this is the newest.

Green Day has three albums coming out this year and the first one appropriately named Uno! is coming out September 25, 2012. The second single to come out is "Kill The DJ"

No Doubt's new album is also coming out on September 25, 2012. It is called Push and Shove and the single is in a post somewhere below this one.

This Makes Me SOOOOO Happy

New Music

Green day and No Doubt came out with new singles. I really like both of their choruses. No Doubt's "Settle Down" I wasn't sure if I liked it at first, but it has grown on me and has been stuck in my head.

Currently Listening To....

Fun. - Some Nights

Fun. is like a modern day Queen. They're not exactly like Queen, but you can tell that they have influences from them. They have different sounds in each of their songs and the little chorus of voices. The first song that I heard and could not stop listening to was "We Are Young". I had a problem for a little while where I would turn on the radio and this song would be on, but I always caught it just as it was ending. Not anymore!! I have the CD! Once I heard the CD there was a lot that I was not expecting. There was more autotune than I expected and a bit of an electronic feel. Hey I said MODERN Queen. This song that I called "track 5" because I didn't know the name was very unexpected, but beware even though it surprises you and you're not sure if this is what you bargained for it will pull you in like an abnormally large alligator catching a cow. You'll be like "What is this?!" and then Bam! You have it stuck in your head for a week, and find yourself conjuring it up "What was that song again? Oh yeah!" aaaand it's stuck. "It Gets Better"

More: "Some Nights", "Carry On", "All Alone", "All Alright"

Alkaline Trio - Agony & Irony

I love the song "Love, Love, Kiss, Kiss". I think it's funny when songs aren't fans of love and they make fun of other people being in love. There are a lot of good songs on this one. This may be one of my favorites from them. There are a lot that are easy to sing along with and some that will be stuck in your head the next day.

Some great songs: "Calling All Skeletons", "I Found Away", "Do You Wanna Know?"

There are more...so get the CD.

No Doubt - Rock Steady

I love No Doubt. I remember always waiting for the radio to play "Hey Baby". This CD can't go wrong with songs like that and hits "Hella Good" and "Underneath It All"
