Year 2, Day 365

The last song for this year is Drown The Sound by Frankie McQueen.


Alright guys. It's all over now...again. I took a year off between the first and second year of this thing and I'm glad I did. It helped to show how much I've changed. I didn't know just how far over my tastes had shifted until I was comparing it with Anna. Man, did I listen to pop. It really was too much considering how far down the talent-challenged windpipe it fell. So in the first year, apart from some nuggets of brilliance, was generally worse music than the next year. Though, I have had some bad tunes up this year as well, but hey, everyone has that band or artist that they are ashamed to like. I'm just beyond caring how others feel about it.

I chose to end this year off with a local band that is a little different than the other stuff I've shown you. This is mostly due in part to the fact that I know 2/3 of the band members. Why? We worked together. It is quite strange (at least to me) that these guys are so talented and yet not doing this full time, but they're working on it. In fact I'm pretty sure they've been touring around all summer. Obviously not to Russia where most of you guys are, but maybe one day? Anyway, they are great guys who love playing music, and they're good at it. They are also pretty damn great live. So check it out if you can and you should be able to find the album on iTunes if you like them enough to buy it. The link for that is here because finding it on your own is ridiculous.

The gap between my years writing will lead you to the conclusion that this is going to happen again, and that is true. I ended this year at a perfect spot because I'm headed back into another year of school, which will be more intense, and I don't think I will have the brain power to come up with anything decent to say and show you. Fear not, I will most likely be back in a year, and on days I really need to unleash hell I will post, but that might not be a lot. So in my absence I hope you continue to find new music and show it to others because music is here for all of us to enjoy. Keep it fun! I'll be back to chronicling my favorites before you know it.

Peace.

Year 2, Day 364

Hey guys. So today's song is When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down) performed by Great Big Sea.


I was going to do a song from Nirvana for today, it being Smells Like Teen Spirit , but I have had a different song stuck in my head all day and I feel like if I don't display it I'll never make it get out of my brain. Therefore today I have this. I also attached the Nirvana song anyway, so in a way you get double the tunage. So as the guy in the video said, this was originally done by the Oysterband. I see why they would be confused that some Canadian band made this a hit because they were so unknown in England. It's amazing by the fact that this song even got down here. I chose to show you guys the Canadian one because, well, I am Canadian and I grew up with their version. The original is here, and it is good, but not the one I know. The Canadian band is from Newfoundland. It's obvious from their accents. Spoiler alert to anyone not from Canada: only Newfies sound like that. I sadly don't have an accent....well I don't think so at least. Although I was told by some British dude that I have the most Canadian accent of my friends. I'm not sure what that means. If you guys could explain to me what you think a Canadian accent sounds like please tell me! I'd love to know how I sound to other people.

Peace.

Year 2, Day 363

Hey. So today's song is Rock Of The Ages by Def Leppard.


I think we all know where I was reminded of this song...I don't need to explain it again. So a few days ago my sister and I got into a fight (shocker) which has resulted in me not wanting to talk to her. She pisses me off because she accuses me of being a bitch when I do something nice for her, and then while I'm still fuming about her audacity, ten minutes after our fight she will pretend nothing happened and think we're best friends again. She's been doing this for years and I'm tired of it. Therefore I have been ignoring her texts and calls all day. I got home and checked Facebook only to find 22 messages from her (all sent in the same minute) of pictures of cartoon cats..... I don't..... How is this supposed to make me less angry? Could some please explain this logic to me because I have no clue what that was supposed to accomplish. Now this song. First off this band is legendary, so I really don't need to tell you about them, and this song is pretty bad ass. I enjoy it. So give it a listen, because even if it's not your kind of thing, you should know who Def Leppard is.

Peace.

Year 2, Day 362

Hi. Today I give you The Gambler by Kenny Rogers.


Like I said I've been watching Supernatural. A lot of it. I heard that they're bringing Bobby back and he was really the only good thing about it. When I first starting watching Supernatural, Sam was my favorite. After a few seasons though they made him so absolutely ridiculous that I lost my love for him, so I started focusing on the humor of Dean, which is never in short supply. Later they brought in Bobby Singer and I can't tell you how much I like Bobby. He is my favorite character ever. Seriously what an awesome guy! Then came Castiel and I love him too. Unfortunately I had left the Supernatural fan base because Sam was being dumb, Cas went full dark side crazy and they killed Bobby. I was done with the series, but since they are bringing him back I decided to start watching again and have re watched up to the end of season six. I started season one a week ago....  Yes it's insane, but I needed the distraction. Anyway this song was played in an episode and I found myself singing all the words even though I was unaware I knew them. Clearly I heard it a lot in my childhood, so I was curious if you had too. Check it out.

Peace.

Year 2, Day 361

Hello. So today's song is Wasting All These Tears by Cassadee Pope.


I've mentioned before that one of my favorite bands is Hey Monday, and that they broke up. Cassadee then went of The Voice and won, and now she's doing country music. Now I like her, I like how she sounds, but I definitely prefer her rock music from the Hey Monday days more than her new country stuff. Still this song relates to my feelings today because I've been having crying fits today sue to some aggravating people. It's not boy trouble, but it still is enough that I've retreated to my bedroom for the remainder of the day. The last couple years I've tried not to be introverted and be more social, but days like the one I had today make me wonder why I'm even trying. So this is the song for today, because nothing is better for girls when they cry than angry women country music. Truth.

Peace.
