In Canada it's called Flag Day

.... but here in Amurica we call it Thanksgiving.  a day of reflection and of eating a big ass bird. so thus before i go out and eat said bird like i was at a Renaissance Faire i shall share with you things that i am thankful for. these aren't the only things i am thankful for just the things i feel like typing.....cuz i'm hungry and i want some deviled eggs.

-Five Iron Frenzy Reunion. as you may have heard they are back in action.  They started a Kickstarter page in order to help raise money for a new album, set at $30,000. yea that was met,... in 55 minutes. amd as of right now they are at $97,000. they said anything over the 30k would be for a tour, sooooo thats happening

-Beer.  Nectar of the gods, fruit of hard labor and damn tasty

- My Job.  i work at a great company with some great people and managers who want to see me succeed, in an industry that is doing nothing but growing!

-My Family.  Need i say more? without family i wouldn't bee where i am, for obvious reasons

-Kitties...............really do i need to explain?

-Music music keeps me sane, makes me smile and makes me cry, I have gone on a killing spree long ago if it wasn't for music, jk i would never go on a killing spree, thats dumb

- MY WONDERFUL WIFE TO BE!!!!! she accepts me for who i am, beard and all, she takes care of me and illegitimately  cares for my well being. shes the best !

- and all my friends, you guys are the best!! if you want a reason why i think you are the best, just ask and i will give you a good reason

Video killed the Radio Star, Youtube sat back and watched it unfold.

While in the car today i heard an NPR story about Chicago rock radio station Q101 and how they went off the airwaves several months ago.  They were talking about how its a shame that stations are closing and how young musicians won't have any inspiration if there isn't anymore radio and all this bullshit.

Look, the reason radio stations are going under is NOT because of ipods or internet radio stations or Pandora it's because radio stations play the same 40 songs over and over and over and over again, nothing new.  If it is new then it's a new song from an artist that the specific station already plays eight of their other songs.

These days I don't feel bad for the music industry.  i feel bad for the quality artists that have to sit back and get shit on by corporate pricks sitting back and making cash and now they blame consumers for stealing music and taking away profits. FUCK THAT. i know that the artists don't make shit off their own music but from merch sales and live concerts.think of the full time bands that you listen to, when is the last time they stopped touring to take a break for longer than a couple weeks???

if you want something different to listen to that isn't a band that's in it for money or bitches or drugs, i can point you in that direction. ask and you shall receive

also in case you can't see with your eyeballs i have a weekly play list over on the left hand side of this blog, just of stuff that i listen to if you are feeling adventurous
