Chilaxin Weekend

Took a very long drive to LA. Although to Ted’s credit, the ride wasn’t that bad con­sid­er­ing how much I hate long dri­ves. Had a ter­ri­ble night’s sleep. Hope­fully tonight will be better.

Ack…

Trip to Mid­dle­town, CA was a com­plete dis­as­ter, well, not com­plete. The ride was nice. Trees are nice. Yes. The town was des­o­late and Lake County wasn’t bet­ter. We prob­a­bly should have just hung at around Lake Berryessa.

Joshua Radin — We Were Here (2006)

The music world has been clam­or­ing for some­one to replace Elliott Smith after his tragic death in 2003. Joshua Radin seems ready to take the folk pop rock reins with his first full-length album We Were Here. Although no one can really replace Elliott Smith, Joshua does a pretty good job fill­ing his shoes.

The Blood Brothers — Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck EP (2006)

The most strik­ing thing about The Blood Broth­ers is that the band fea­tures two lead vocals, Jor­dan Blilie and Johnny Whit­ney. This isn’t such a unique con­cept with bands and groups like Linkin Park and Out­kast hav­ing already been there and done that. But for the metal and hard­core genre, hav­ing dual vocals cre­ates a huge dis­con­nect in songs where both share singing duties.

D&L v3.0b Is Up

I spent a few hours last night try­ing to work on Dorks And Losers ver­sion 3.0, but there were so many kinks in it that I wasn’t sat­is­fied with it. Fast for­ward to now and I think I got it to where I’m fine with it, but not quite. Hence the beta tag.

What To Do, What To Do

It’s sup­posed to hit triple dig­its again on the ther­mome­ters this week­end. I feel it and I’m inside. Mid­dle­town, CA will be the tar­get for Sun­day. We will finally tear it up D&L style. It should be fun. Hope­fully there is a beach some­where on the lake. I hope.

Countdown To Spiderman 3!

Oh boy, I can’t wait. Can’t can’t can’t…
