BOO!!!!

For those of you that know me, you already are well aware that my band also has a blog. It is mostly used for our emailing list, google searches, booking agents, and we link it from other music sites and such. You can find a link on my site to the bands, but you will not find a link from the bands blog to mine. Why? Glad you asked. I like to keep it completely seperate. The band site gets a ton of hits, but most of them are from people I don't know. My personal blog is somewhat a secret from the rest of the world, and I would like to keep it that way. If I ever start getting hits from the bands site, I would have to make my blog private. And that would suck, cause I really enjoy meeting new people from the blogging world. (if you have ever noticed, I never put the bands name into any of my blog entries for fear of being googled) Blah, blah, blah, you get the point. With that said, if you have nothing better to do this weekend, jump on over to the bands site and read the last post. It made me crack up, so I wanted to share it with all of you. It seems as though my band mates have completely lost their minds and are trying to drag me down with them. If you go over to the bands site and read the interview, come back here to comment. (Since most of the bands hits are from non space people, it really doesn't get too many comments) If you have nothing better to do this weekend, click here.

And for those of you that want to hear a song of mine, there is one playing on the band blog. (press play on the media player) Yes, thats me singing. Feel free to criticize me. Bring it on!!!!

Got to say, yesterday was in my top ten bad days I've had this year. (and to have it coinside with the anniversary of the death of Elvis! Coincidence? I think not!) But that's history! I was going to write about it, but now I just want to move on. So, moving on...,

Proof that strange energy is held within the tides. Full moons bring the crazy out of every turn. And we are having more than our share here in our corner of Minnesota. My heart goes out to all my close friends that some of the negative energy has been attracted to. Somehow, more than a few, tangents have creeped into the circle of some close people. And the effects have not been shown yet, but are bound to make it's mark. I feel a need to be on extra alert, and stay below radar for awhile. Not to stir the pot, and try to keep balance.  Sometimes Life happens! You may strive to be a big strong oak in the forest you live, but it's always better to be a willow. When it storms, the oak is the first to fall. The willow bends with the wind...,

So the band has some songs on these charts at garagebands. It was thrown into the Indie Music genre, (not by my choice) and it's being torn apart. I Love it! All the bands on these charts review each other, and so on. Its been a ton of fun watching these musicians review our music. Everybody knows everything about music, just a little bit more than the next guy. We have gotten some rave reviews, by some of the most perfect unsigned bands in the world. Here's a few..,

Review of Cool Me Down by Tokyo Love Cash
Genre: Indie Rock    1.6
ok
the guitar intro is catchy, as well as the song. The vocals are the downside of the song, it sort of makes the song irritating.

This is my favorite!

indie?
i'm reviewing indie rock, this songs like it should go under rock rock. not really my cup o' tea. the mood is that of an 80's radio rock song. not sure who you sound like though.

Are they seriously this stoned? Could you dig down a little deeper? How do you expect to get anywhere without, at least, trying to be smart? Give yourself a little bit of credit by not putting your name behind some of the most thoughtless words to ever waste your time with. (i erased the first guys name, because it was his full real name.) People are so smart!

Turns out I ended up reviewing the second guys stuff, (without knowing it was the same guy) and kind of dug into it a bit. I've left great reviews everywhere else, but his stuff was too over the top cheese. He emailed to thank me for my honesty, and completely agreed with my opinions on his tune. He turned out to be really nice. But he sent me a longer email then any of his reviews. I don't get it!

Here's something I wrote as a review.

My favorite band on Garagebands!
Just a killer sound! The vocals are amazing, and so refreshingly original. The lyrics are rich as hell also. So you start to think, which came first? The drums are what really stand out on this track. I'm sure everyone will say the guitar tone, but I love how its mixed. The guitar sits low, almost laying the carpet for the drums. But the guitar riff is hotter than a urinary infection, no doubt, and can not be over looked. The keys are very witty, and almost go unnoticed except for the intro, and do a great job bringing extra melody into the mix. Strap on your drinking bag and fill up on some great tasting Rock n Roll!

Just wanted to drop a line to clear up a few things. I don't have a link to my space from the bands blog, because I don't want one. The bands blog is for business and our email list. I am not just the band, so I figured I needed my own space. I am also having a hard time writting for 5 different people, and I don't want to piss anyone off with my opinions. This way everybodies happy. If you found me, then great! If the smart ones look hard enough, they can find me too. Some close friends have links to me from there blogs, and I think that's good enough. (and I want to thank them for doing so.) I do have a link to my bands blog from here, but thats just for the curious. If you do go to the band blog, try not leave any comments on where you came from. I hate being so secretive, but I enjoy my privacy. I enjoy having my friends outside of music. I swear I will get around to putting some of my new friends links on here, so bear with me..., please!
