Specification

Somehow my Phoenix link was taken down from mediafire as well as my blog post. I did not do this, but I wanted to clarify that my intent behind this gesture was in response to an 'Of Montreal' article i read suggesting that if you haven't paid for music, to atleast spread it to ten of your friends because they had seen a direct correlation to larger crowds at shows due to their exposure to the bands music, which in turn makes the bands more money off of the door and merch sales, so i felt like sharing. I have always believed that if you don't like something you hear, you shouldn't have to buy it, however, if you DO love a record, then buy it. It's a tough economy, but i still support those bands i love and so should you. We all know that buying a bands cd really only benefits the record label, in the financial sense, atleast. It's gotta look great to see that a band on your label sold 2 million copies as i'm sure that seeing those numbers pretty much locks up a band to a deal for a few more records. At any rate, these are my thoughts and i'd love to hear what yours are on this matter. Let me leave you with this thought...Recently, a shitty dive bar in Suffolk, "Randy's", had a suit brought against them by the RIAA for allowing bands to play cover songs in his bar. The owner of the bar was found guilty in court and ordered to pay something in the neighborhood of $14,000 for the infraction. Is it just me or is this just insane? How are artists from 30 and 40 years ago suffering from this? How is it not the "cover" band's fault? If i run a bar and hire bands to play (completely unaware of what the set includes), how am i responsible for their setlist? I was recently informed that you can pay a $1500/year fee to allow cover bands to play in your bar...but who the hell knew that? It just looks desperate to me and it pisses me off that this guys crappy ass bar has to now fold (most likely) because he let some mulletheads in Suffolk rock out and have a good time.

Thoughts??


Much Love

Mock Draft. My yearly nerdiness has once again arisen

So for those of you who don't know, three years ago i was officially bitten by the Fantasy Football bug. In fact, last year it was so bad, that as soon as June arrived, i had joined three leagues already. Now i know some of you would just think it's stupid and a waste of time, but contrary to popular belief, it is a ton of fun. You should try it. Kind of like hating on ecstasy before you try it, but after you do, you're hooked on a feeling of utter euphoria that can only be understood by successfully completing your first draft and taking your team all the way. I, however, have not taken my team all the way yet, but i can assure you, a playoff run is in the works this year. With all that said, here are the results from my first mock draft. I cannot wait for this year. Nerd rant OVER!

Excited about my future home!

I've been talking to Mike online about booking our trip out to Denver for July. I found a few more photos i take with twice aforementioned Mahler. Man, I cannot wait to be out there living the dream.
