Pardon me for slacking on my posting but for being unemployed, life is startlingly distracting at the moment. Additionally, I've been working with a couple friends of mine to get another blog up off the ground. It's called 1,000 Words and its primary focus is developing a community for short fictions writers. I'm a regular contributer as well, writing things that aren't music related. If that's your thing, I suggest your check it out.
Now then, things to expect from THIS blog in the near future:
Concerts!
Album reviews!
I've won tickets to Outside Lands in Golden Gate Park this year. Expect coverage of that for the next few days as well as my pointed opinions. I was over at the park yesterday to pick up my tickets and the whole thing is fenced and tented. Very excited.
Album reviews!
This seems like a no brainer, but I'm anxious to share my thoughts on new albums from As Tall As Lions and Imogen Heap. The Used are also slated to drop an album so If I have time, I'll write on that. However, I don't think that will be a nice review. It's....well, less than stellar.
September! September!
Aside from the fact that I'll be seeing blink 182 twice in September (And turning 22. What's THAT about?), I just realized this is going to be an incredibly strong month in terms of music. Here are the releases I'm excited for:
Backspacer by Pearl Jam
The Blueprint 3 by Jay-Z
Brand New Eyes by Paramore
Break Up by Scarlett Johansson (C'mon, you've got to chuckle a bit)
Daisy by Brand New
Crash Love by A.F.I.
Endgame by Megadeath
Remastered versions of The Beatles' studio albums (A touchy subject for most)
The Resistance by Muse
Sadly, I was also looking forward to writing up Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1 by The Beastie Boys but I suppose that will have to wait. Here's to hoping MCA a smooth recovery and that the album drops this year.
With that, I leave you with Radiohead's recent performance of "These Are My Twisted Words" at Frequency 2009, simply because as my friend Trevor once said as he imitated me, "You know what's real kids? RADIOHEAD!"

22?! Gee, you're old. Haha, SO excited for Brand New and Muse (it's about friggin' time), heck yeah!
Hahaha, I might not BE old but I do FEEL old.
Brand New is gonna be great though, no worries there. I'm very worried about Muse though...I'm not totally in love with the single. I just hope it's epic and spacey. :D
Circa Survive is coming out with a new album soon too! Please tell me you've heard of them.
I did hear about it. I'll be honest though, I've only really enjoyed listening to Juturna, and I don't even really love it that much. I think my review might be a tad more biased than usual. I think if I can review everything on that list and have time left over, I'll write one for Circa, but it's not my top priority.
Sadly, I'm only one man, and some reviews slip the through the cracks. For example: I REALLY wanted to review the new Gallows album but classes were killing me when it hit the net.
I was just making sure you knew who they were. I'm sure I'll blog about them all when I find the time too.
