Glacier Hiking

Tommy Walters of Abandoned Pools new band with singer Ross Goland from Ross Goland and Molehead. Good shit. You'll enjoy it just as much as me. :)

Tahiti 80

The best french band, ever. Yes, they do sing in English. They're right after PHOENIX though. :)

Ken Andrews - Secret of the Lost Satellite REVIEW :D

2007-03-21T17:27:28Z

Well, after listening to this CD since I've had it, I have to say, this is another original piece of art that Ken has made. The CD have a great atmospheric intro leading into another synth alt rock album. If you were into Failure, ON, or Year of the Rabbit (Which includes Ken in all bands) then you'll sink into this album like a rock in water. There is eleven tracks which smoothly flow perfectly from song to song. There's one song released on only CD and one song released only through ITUNES. Either one you buy you get to enjoy a different song! In my opinion, this sounds like where Year of the Rabbit would've picked up if they came back. A good friend of Ken's, Jordon Zadorozny from Blinker the Star came in and helped out on a co-producing SOTLS which had some influences on some of Ken's songs. Some of the songs that hit me harder would be "Perfect Days", "Tripped Up" and "In Your Way". The lyrics and music make it such an experience to remember that keep you coming back for more. Still you can feel the typical music of Ken in here which would be a little more darker in some areas but picks up rockin' till the break of dawn. As Ken said himself he doesn't like to discuss his lyrics meanings but likes the listener to get his own interpretation of them.Anyone who buys this will not be disappointed in this AWESOME buy. This was one of the top 3 albums I had been anticipating on for this year, also been a waiting fan since late 2005 for new material by Ken himself. Expect a lot of good things on this album.

If you're interested in Ken's music you should check out Failure and Autolux who is shooting for a Summer release on their new CD as well.

Ken is also on a 3 week tour throughout the US, if you want to see dates click HERE

Crap.

2006-06-05T07:38:47Z

Ever get that feeling that you need to do something [with your life] when you hear that certain song from a band?

For instance, "If All My Days Go By" by Maritime.

Good song, but living in a state of deja vu (If you believe in that kind of stuff.)

Just, weird.

The Life and Times

2006-05-23T06:03:00Z

Man, I just got back from seeing The Life and Times.

OHHHHH MAHHH GOD! SOOOO GOOODDD!!

A japanese band named MONO was there as well. Instrumental isn't my cup of tea, same with Misael's so we left during their set. Pelican was there as well.I just wanted to see The Life and Times.

Music. A+++++++++++++++++++

I hope you all miss the 90's after reading this.

2006-03-30T05:31:10Z

Anybody under the age of 15 should not read this, and if you should, you should not repost this.

Just because you were born in '92 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.

It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the nineties just wont cut it.

You're a 90's kid if:

You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!"

You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air"

You remember when Kurt Cobain, Tu Pac, River Phoenix, and Selena died.

You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey from "Blossom" and that "How Rude!" comes from Stephanie from "Full House"

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

You remember reading "Goosebumps"

You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, wax off"

You have pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.

You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.

You danced to "wannabe" by the Spice Girls, Females: had a new motto, Males: got a whole lot gay-er. (so tell me what you want, what you really really want.)

You remember the craze then the banning of slap bracelets and slam books.

You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show.

Captain Planet.

You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the red* Ranger were meant to be together.

To the last sentence you said.....hey...Tommy was the green* ranger!!!!

*later to be white

When playing power rangers with friends you fought over who got to be who............and still all ended up being tommy.

You remember when super nintendo's became popular.

You remember watching home alone 1, 2 , and 3........and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"

"I've fallen and I can't get up"

You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates

Two words... Trapper Keeper.

You ever got injured on a Slip 'n' Slide

You wore socks over leggings scrunched down

"Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black, with silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back, back, back" SHE ASKED HER MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER FOR FIFTY CENTS CENTS CENTS TO SEE THE ELEPHANTS PHANTS PHANTS JUMP OVER THE FENCE THE FENCE THE FENCE
he jumped so high high high he touched the sky sky sky and he didnt come back back back til the forth of july ly ly he jumped so low ow ow he stubbed his toe toe toe and thats the end end end of the elephants show show show

You remember boom boxes vs. cd players

You remember New Kids on The Block when they were cool

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"

You played and or collected "Pogs"

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere

You watched the original Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Ninja Turtles

NANCY DREW AND THE HARDY BOYS WERE THE BEST MYSTERY BOOKS

Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff!

All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.(pencils.notebooks.binders.etc.)

You remember when the new Beanie Babies were always sold out.

You used to wear those stick on earings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes.

You remember a time before the WB.

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

You know the Macarena by heart.

"Talk to the hand" ... enough said

You thought Brain woud finally take over the world

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"

You remember when everyone went slinky crazy.

You remember when razor scooters were cool.

when we were younger:

Before the MySpace frenzy.

Before the Internet & text messaging.

Before Sidekicks & iPods.

Before MIKE JONES

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX.

Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.

WHEN LIGHT UP SNEAKERS WERE KOOL

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.

When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie.

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans.

When 2Pac and Biggie where alive.

When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.

Way back.

Tag.

Get Over Here!!!! means something to you.

Hide-n-Go Seek at dusk.

Red Light, Green Light.

Heads Up 7 Up.

Playing Kickball & Dodgeball until your porch light came on.

Hopskotch.

Slip-n-Slides.... now there are just ghetto ones

Tree Houses.

Hula Hoops.

HELLO....HOT WHEELS!!!!!

"POWER OF LOVE" BY CELINE DION..ONLY COUPLES COULD SKATE TO THIS.

The annoying Nano Pets & Furbies.

Running through the sprinklers.

That "Little Mermaid"

Crying when Mufasa died in the Lion King.

Happy Meals where you chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car.

Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car.

Drinking Sqeeze It "Squeeze The Fun Out Of It"

CAPRI SUN

Watching Saturday Morning Cartoons in your PJ's still wrapped up in your TMNT, Power Rangers, Barbie, Fairy Princess comforter.

Hey Arnold, Doug, Rugrats.

The original Power Rangers

Or what about:

The Secret Life of Alex Mac.

Ren & Stimpy.

Family Double Dare.

Rocco's Modern Life.

AAAHH!! REAL MONSTERS.

Wild & Crazy Kids.

or nick jr. with face

gulah gulah island

little bear

Busy Town

under the unbrella tree

PEE-WEE'S PLAYHOUSE!!!

The Big Comfy Couch

Bobby's World!!!!

Kool-Aid was the drink of choice.

Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.

Class field trips.

When Christmas was the most exciting time of year.

When $5 seemed like a million, & another dollar a miracle.

When you begged to go to McDonalds for dinner everyday.

When Toys R Us overuled the mall.

Go back to the time when:

Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!'

'Race issue' ment arguing about who ran the fastest.

Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly'.

It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends.

Being old referred to anyone over 20.

A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery.

Scrapes & bruises were kissed & made better.

Where the best form of protection was "circle circle dot dot now I've got my cootie shot, circle circle square square now I've got it everywhere"

It was a big deal to finally be tall enought to ride the 'big people' rides at the fair.

When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.

When Ninja Turtles ruled the world.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear

who would have thought youd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

Post this in your bulletin if you remember these days<3

Marines.

2006-03-13T05:43:12Z

I probably just saved myself 4 years with my decision.

Or will the next for be with another branch or with the Marines?

Birthday weekend!

2006-03-06T05:46:44Z

Well, I'll sum it up very short.

Friday hung out with Stephen! Rolando and Misael. Went to a kegger, got a little crunk. Chilled with my brother and his friends.

Saturday. Rolando and I went to 6th street. Rolando got his lip pierced. I got my tattoo. That night hung outwith my old friend Natalie. Didn't go out after 11. Too tired and worn out after tattoo. Misael and Rolando hung out wih two drunk boring chicks who took them to a pool bar.

Left at 1. Made it from Austin to Waco in an hour. (Was doing 100 - 110mph) the whole way. Got home at 5. Hung out with Tehseen when I got home then headed to a Prelude meet with Tehseen. Went to his house. Chilled. Came home. :)

Only picture I have from this weekend.
