Year 3, Day 310

What's Up. Today's song is The Courage Of The Fall by Civil Twilight.

Today marks the start of a mini nomad moment for me. I'm house sitting at various places so I wont be home for the next...two weeks I think? First I'm at my uncle's place again because he's away at site for work, and Betina took Mya to Lethbridge for a few days to help out her sister with her kids. Then I'll be at my sister's house to take care of the pets while her and Will are in Mexico. I don't know what my family is going to do when I get my own apartment and no longer feel like leaving my place empty to fill theirs...it's an intriguing thought. I've got a slow song for today because I'm having a pretty calm day. I want you guys to really listen to this one. It's so beautiful and I think most people take it for granted...I hope you don't.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 309

Hey guys. So today's song is Home by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros.

I was super bored today because all of my shows are on a hiatus...again. That gets really annoying. Anyway I was watching stuff on YouTube and finding myself in random places then somehow ended up on Glee. Now I was one of those people who watched the show from the beginning, I loved it at first. I stuck with it through the awkward transition of new kids, and then Corey died. It's the last season and I wasn't going to watch it, but I was desperate for something to do. It's obvious that they're just trying to patch up everything and end it in a neat little bow, but it's not going to be. I appreciate the songs, but the script is a mess...I'll hold on though and see it through to the end. The show's already ruined for me anyway. I'm curious if you guys have ever had that? Watched a TV show even after it turned bad just to see it through? I seem to do it a lot honestly, it takes a lot to make me give up a show...I hope I'm not alone in this. Today's song is one that I've had saved on my phone thanks to Shazam to use, and evidently it's one of the songs that Glee has covered. The original is obviously better, but I figured it was enough of a coincidence that it would be perfect to choose now. So check it out.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 308

Hi. So today's song is McFly the Musical by McFly.

Obviously this is a little late since they've now passed their 11th anniversary as a band, but I've been waiting to post this for a long time. Since I try and show you guys so much stuff from McFly, I have to stagger it so I don't bombard your senses with catchy British tunes. I know that this one in particular will probably not make sense if you aren't into the band, so I will explain it step by step so you know all the inside jokes and stories. This footage is from a show done for their 10th anniversary, so in honor of the occasion Tom created this: a tribute to their career. Okay he explains it in the song but Busted is another band that was created around the same time as McFly formed. Tom was supposed to be in Busted, but they cut it down to three members, so Tom and Danny got together and formed a band then they met Dougie and Harry. The eyebrow condition remark is about Charlie, the frontman (I guess) of Busted who is actually the reason they split up, but that's not important right now. As you can guess from the lyrics they toured everywhere and helped build schools in Africa. Harry was on Strictly Come Dancing (and won), Dougie was on I'm A Celeb (and won), and Danny was on Popstar to Opera Star (4th place), Tom's brother in law was on Celebrity Big Brother (that's why he mentions it) while Tom wrote some One Direction hits...not alone, but we'll give him this. He's also obsessed with Harry Potter. They were on the cover of a gay magazine as you see in the video, and while I don't think they've ever stripped down on stage they have set their pubes on fire which is close enough in my opinion and a VERY bad idea. Ah the Lindsay Lohan thing! So the boys got fame in America when they were in Just My Luck the movie as the band Chris Pine managed. There were a ton of rumors that Harry had a thing with Lindsay...yeah. I think that about covers everything lol. Nothing more to say so check out the song and I'll see you tomorrow!

Peace.

Year 3, Day 307

Hey... Today's song is Girl In A Country Song by Maddie & Tae.

Sorry, this is the last one, it's just so good. I wouldn't recommend reading the comments on this video because it's just a bunch of people who are butthurt. This song is basically satire of the typical country song. I feel like it's equal parts "I hope the industry stops doing this stuff" and "let's have fun with the stereotype for the hell of it." This is one of those creations that you should laugh and smile at rather than complaining that "these girls are abusing the stereotype just like men do which is wrong!" As you can imagine this has become the breeding ground for a feminist/misogynist debate and it gets old fast. It'a a catchy song and I love it, I love the video, I think it's fabulous overall so can we please just enjoy that it exists rather than compaining? For once? I hope so.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 306

Hiya. So today's song is Radio by Darius Rucker.

I hate emails. If anyone reading this has been putting off going through your email and deleting all your old stuff, do it right now before it gets too bad. I hate talking on the phone so I always use email if I can, and I always keep everything which is a horrible thing to do. It's taken me days to sort them out...it also doesn't help that I have at least three different email addresses that people use for me and they are all crap. I'm working on switching them all over to my gmail so there's only one. The problem is that I have my old ridiculous hotmail that I made in 7th grade for all my subscriptions, then a different less stupid hotmail that my family uses and then my SAIT email for professional messages. I swear if you have this problem too go fix it right now because it'll bite you in the ass eventually. Just a PSA for you there. The title of this song is weirdly accurate right now because I'm listening to BBC Radio 1 stuff right now...I'm watching on YouTube because obviously I don't live in Britain, but it's still a radio show. This song puts a country twinge on R&B style music so I don't know of you'd technically classify it as country, but it's going with the other country stuff anyway because I like it there. It adds a little differentiation to this week, so enjoy it.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 305

Hello. So today's song is Wrong Side Of The Dirt by Livy Jeanne.

This song doesn't have a lot of play, but it should. It's basically what most female country songs are which is a revenge story ish? I'm not hating on country singers who have those because I fully understand it and use them as my anthems. It's just statistically what you hear most, not including the guy's songs about drinking beer and riding in trucks with women....because those guys are probably the reason these songs exist. Okay this has gone downhill fast...I like the song, she an awesome musician. I have found myself singing it constantly and the rest of her singles are just as good so check them out, check her out and disregard any of my opinions if you don't agree with them...yeah.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 304

Morning. Today's song is Broken by Lindsey Haun.

Today I saw my cousin again. This time her mom wasn't working at the hospital so all three of them were at breakfast. Mya (my cousin) is too damn smart for her age. She made me make the bunny out of my gloves again, and wanted it to drink her milk, but refused to let her mom touch the cup while the bunny drank. Then later when we were at my grandparent's place she was playing with stuff in my room. Naturally I let her play with things that were safe for her like the bucket full of stuffies from when I was a kid. Well, she took them all out of the bucket then shut the door so it was just the two of us and put them back in the bucket. Put things in, take things out over and over and over. My room gets pretty hot so I wanted to open the door but every time I touched the handle she would stop and look at me then shake her head. She did this for a solid two hours before they finally went home for the day. I'm not good with kids so I don't know why she stuck with me so much...I'm just happy she didn't cry. So this song and the clip is from the movie Broken Bridges, which I absolutely adore so if you like the song I think you should check out the movie. I will warn you though that if you can't stand Toby Keith then this movie is not for you. Okay, see you tomorrow!

Peace.

Year 3, Day 303

Hey. So today's song is If You're Gonna Play In Texas by Alabama.

I feel like putting in some country so prepare yourselves for a week of fiddles. This song is one that I've heard my entire life. I can hear ten seconds of it, and have it stuck in my head for days. This is what being raised on country does to you. I may not live in Texas, but Alberta is the Canadian equivalent. Plus people literally refer to my city as Cowtown. Alabama is classic and if I'm doing a week of country music who better to start with, so here you go. Get your stetsons and spurs, we're going to have some fun.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 302

What's Up. So today's song is Lights And Sounds by Yellowcard.

I just got home.  I was over at my sister's today to hangout. We never really see each other anymore because she switched to a different position at her company and now normally gets off work at six in the morning. Today though marked the beginning of her weekend after getting home this morning so I gave her until about noon to sleep before I came over. When I got there she was still sleeping so I woke her up in the most annoying and least likely way for her to yell at me: the cat alarm. I love cat alarms. All I had to do was put the cat on the bed and pet him for a bit before taking off to safety in the living room. He meows and meows until she is conscious and getting out of bed...it's perfect. Of course though she left later to go to a hockey game so I hung out with Will and Greg, then when she got back she was all pissed off and tired and wouldn't leave her room. I left pretty quickly after that and even though she hadn't been hanging out with me that didn't stop her from sending me a text as soon as I walked in my door telling me that I should have stayed....whatever. I am actually really tired so I'm going to go sleep now, but I figured I'd get today's song up.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 301

Hi. So today's song is Midnight Driving by Wave.

I've shown you guys stuff from Wave before. Their album is one that I got into a lot more after I started driving than when they were popular. A different song by them is my driving song, which I've featured, but the whole album has now been trained in my head to play for nights. I can't fathom listening to this song during the day. I'm not complaining thought because it works perfectly for the title. I only realized today how the name of this song fits with when I listen to it, and I wanted to share that with you. I couldn't believe I'd been listening to it for so long without noticing that it was called Midnight Driving and that I only listened to it at night....while driving around....I'm oblivious sometimes. Oh well. Sorry I don't have anything to talk about today haha. I've been organizing my ipod and sleeping. That's literally all I've done, so instead of an interesting story you get my boring ramblings set to music. I'll just stop now.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 300

Hey. So today's song is Pickpocket by Kate Nash.

I can't believe how far in to this we are. I know I've sucked at keeping up with blogging for this one, I've been having kind of a tough year mentally and emotionally. I'm a bit wrecked.  It's no excuse, but in sixty five days you wont have to worry about that anymore. This is a weird song and I think it fits how I have been this year. The music and the lyrics never seem to match up, they aren't tuned to each other and I feel like that's how my ambition and realty have been. I do really enjoy this song. Every time it plays on my ipod I have to pause and listen closely. It catches my attention more than others because it's such a different set up than other songs I have heard. I'm not sure how to explain it, but it's just....it's right for today. It's right for me. So I hope you like it.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 299

Hi Guys. Today's song is Cover Me Up by Jason Isbell.

It's occurred to me that I haven't actually filled you guys in on my birthday...so I'm going to do that. I really didn't do much because like I said I haven't been in the celebrating mood. Not a lot of people wished me a Happy Birthday either because I stopped talking to them, but I expect no less. I had breakfast with my grandparents, mom, sister and her boyfriend, and his brother. We do it every week so it wasn't exactly special although or normal waitress is so used to the routine and our birthdays (we've been doing this for years) that she got everyone singing to me without any prompt from us. I shared my confetti birthday pancake with Will and Greg, then we actually had breakfast. My mom took me to the bank so I could deal with all the birthday cash I got because it's all going towards paying my school debt. My birthday present from my dad was the reminder that I owe all this money and he's getting tired of it sitting there...we're estranged, but his name is on the account. Then I went to Sammy's and hung out with her, Will and Greg. We played some games, the boys ate my birthday chocolate, and Sammy and I played Disney Heads Up because the boys suck at it. I swear they need a Disney intervention. I was there the whole day then came home and slept. It was a very quiet day...Oh! I had also applied to a shit tonne of jobs before breakfast so hopefully the luck of the day will push those a little bit more. So there's the story, and a song.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 298

Hi. Today's song is It's My Party by Lesley Gore.

This isn't some secret explanation of how my birthday was...although I did have a panic attack yesterday, but that was a misunderstanding. This is today's song because I just heard the news that Lesley Gore has died. I'm crushed. I've been singing this song and known all the lyrics since I was a kid, and was listening to classics like this before I even had friends. She deserves to be remembered by everyone, her life must be acknowledged. She was born in New York, and raised in New Jersey by her family. Her career started with this song, which she recorded when she was 16 years old. As you can imagine, it was a huge hit. The song was #1 and sold more than a million copies which earned it a gold status. She released a bunch of other songs as well which all stayed in the top 20. Another song of hers that people still know is You Don't Own Me, which sat at #2 behind The Beatles' I Want To Hold Your Hand. During her time in high school and college, she released numerous albums which were received very well, and she was featured on Batman and The Donna Reed Show. After college she released some more albums (totaling 11 over her whole career) and composed music for Fame in the 80's with her brother, receiving an academy award nomination for her efforts. One of the prominent things she devoted her life to was the LGBT issues, starting in the 2000's. She came out to the world in 2005 after living with her partner for more than 23 years. She was an amazing woman and will truly be missed. Thank you for being who you were.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 297

 Hello. So today's song is 22 by Taylor Swift.

Now you see why yesterday's song was too perfect right? When you have something like that saved to show...you take the moment that life gives you. So I'm buying into the recent thing that society (mostly ladies who love pop music) have been doing. It is my birthday. Guess how old I am. If you guessed 22, you'd be correct! Technically it's not my birthday until 9:21 pm, but apparently I'm the only person who celebrates on the exact minute. I'm a weirdo, that's nothing new. This year I'm not doing anything for my birthday because I just don't feel like it. I'm not in a party mood. I've done this before on my 15th birthday too, I didn't celebrate at all or get any presents and everyone thought I was crazy. It seems the the years closest to those "big birthday years" are the ones which suck the most. So I'm going to go to breakfast with my family, have birthday pancakes, possibly be sung to by the waitress and that's it...unless my friends have something else in mind and try to kidnap me which is not uncommon in my life. Well that's it, I did the cliche thing and was jammin to the song, now I'm going to go and see where the day takes me.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 296

Hey! Today's song is Award Show Taylor Swift by Bowling For Soup.

Alright I know this doesn't count as a new artist because I've shown you so much Bowling For Soup, but the opportunity of putting this song up today is too good to pass up. Plus it's still relevant since recently we saw award show Taylor Swift and Kanye did something stupid again...just not to her this time. I don't know if Taylor has seen this before, but I really hope she has and loves it because I can't get enough. If you've been following this blog for awhile, you'll already know that these guys are in my top five favorite bands list. I know three of their albums by heart (even in song order) and love all the songs. It's a little bittersweet right now because they stopped doing big tours, but when you've done it for twenty years I'm sure you need a break. So this is today's song. Happy Valentine's to all of you, I hope it's a rockin' day regardless of your romantic status.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 295

Hi everyone. So today's song is All I Need by Louden Swain.

Any Supernatural fans will probably understand why this is a band I needed to feature.  So the members are Rob Benedict, Michael Borja, Billy Moran, and Stephen Norton. For people who don't watch Supernatural, Rob while being the lead singer of the band is also an actor and played the prophet Chuck in the TV show (Chuck is also God, but you don't find that out in the show.) The band is named after the main character in the movie Vision Quest, which is basically a coming of age story about finding yourself...with a wrestling twist. They're based in LA and most prominently are featured at Supernatural conventions where the cast performs with them and they generally just rock out with hundreds of fans who adore them. This song is really adorable in particular because Rob wrote it for his wife, which is too cute for words. Even if you don't like Supernatural, these guys are great and you should listen to them....so do that. Right Now.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 294

Hello. Today I give you Glory Days by Pkew Pkew Pkew.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the awesomeness that is the name of this band?! On all their stuff it's written as Pkew Pkew Pkew (gunshots) because that's the sound it comes from, although most people refer to them by one Pkew. I cannot be the only one that pretends to have the little tiny finger handguns and does that at people. Although I do have a story about that. So when I still worked at Wholesale, I had done that at one of the warehouse guys complete with the pkew pkew pkew. And he gave me the worst look ever. The thing about working with guys who handle guns regularly is that they are not fans of inaccuracy. So I got told No. That I was wrong and that if I was going to try and do the finger guns, I needed to do a legit impression of the gunshot... a.k.a the chh ck POW noise and motion. Men are weird...Anyway on to the band. The guys are from Toronto and actually just got signed to a record label. They started in 2010 and have been rocking out ever since. Members include Mike Warne, Brodie Matthias Bocelli, Ryan McKinley, Emmett O'Reilly, and Dave Laino. I can't wait to hear more stuff from them and I hope you feel the same way.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 293

Hey. So today's song is Where To Start by Tommy & The High Pilots.

These guys are from California and are severely lacking in details about the bands existence. They formed in 2008 and members include Tommy and Michael Cantillon, Matt Palermo, and Mike Dyer. They've release a lot of music over their career. The debut album came out in 2009 followed by an EP in 2010. The EP is where this song is from. The next one came out in 2011 and lastly their most recent release was on 2013. Also in 2013 they released a live album. I honestly can't tell you much more about them, besides that their music is awesome. This guy's voice is a little different than what you normally hear from musicians and it makes it great. Plus the music their creating suits his voice rather than them trying to force it on a genre that it isn't compatible with. They've toured with Plain White T's and Paramore, which are both great bands so I knew they'd be good. One thing that can really be appreciated is they sound just as good live as they do on the record, which can't be said about everyone in the industry. So check these guys out and tell me what you think.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 292

Hi. Today's song is Northern Lights by The Dangerous Summer.

This band is from Maryland and formed in 2006 while the guys were still in high school. The name is actually an ode to a book by Ernest Hemingway. The Dangerous Summer novel is actually an edited version of a 75,000-word manuscript Hemingway wrote at the end of the 50's as an assignment from LIFE Magazine. It's about a bullfighter rivalry and is considered Hemingway's last book. After they self released an EP, they got signed to record label in 2007. They had their pick of record labels since the EP attracted so many, but eight months into their career Hopeless Records became their home. With the label the band re released the EP with new tracks and a new title. The debut album came out in 2009, which is the album this song is from, and did ridiculously well. They released their second album as well as an acoustic version of the first album in 2011. A third album was released in 2013, but in 2014 they disbanded because of tension and also a need to focus on family. Regardless you should check out the music, and if you're really interested you can look into the book.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 291

Hey. So today's song is Emmeline by Erland & The Carnival.

Okay this one may or may not have been used before. I remember featuring them years ago, but I think the video got taken down or no one could view it so I might have changed it to a different group after the fact. I still remember though because of the creepy bugs in the first song's video...it was disgusting. Anyway I figured if I had taken them off the blog it wasn't fair because their stuff is good so I'm showing them to you today. This is a British group and as far as I know they are pretty popular. They formed in 2008 after the guys met at a folk night and bonded over their love of that genre and one song in particular: My Name is Carnival by Jackson Frank. I think it's pretty clear where their name comes from now. The debut album came out in 2010, with their second album out the following year. They've received great reviews for their unique sound described as "a wild pastiche of digital trickery and oral tradition that channels the spirit of '70s progressive rock while staying true to pop-song brevity." I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I can say that in this particular track, man do they have the creep factor down to an artform just from the way the song starts. Their third album came out last year so check out some of the other song if this is your style.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 290

Morning! Today's song is Stand In The Water by Wildlife.

So I've decided when exactly the never before seen artist thing is going to end and it'll be on my birthday. Mostly because I've been doing this for a month or more and my birthday is the closest event I can think of. Therefore the last one will be on Valentine's Day and I'll start doing other stuff the day after. Until then, here is another Canadian band from Toronto. I actually saw something today about Canadians sharing their Canada and it's a compilation video of all the footage that was sent in. One of the comments from someone in Britain was that all the footage is from outside doing energetic things and that it would be very different if the same concept was applied for them. I thought a lot about it because I really don't do many outdoor activities but...if I wanted to show someone Canada I would want to take them camping and for a drive through the prairies seeing all the yellow fields. Roadtrips are definitely my Canada and that counts as outside. I thought it was relevant today not only because of the band location, but their name. This band though wasn't always in Canada, and actually originated in Glasgow with a lineup of Canadians and Scots in 2005. The band eventually went their separate ways and the homesick singer moved back to Toronto and restarted the band with his childhood friend a year later. They released an EP in 2008 on thier own and it is beyond sold out, you can't get it anywhere. In 2010 they released a five track album with a record label and got great reviews. So check out their stuff.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 289

What's up. Today's song is Westfall by Okkervil River.

Here's another band from Texas, who also found their name through inspiration of the arts, this time from a short story by Tatyana Tolstaya, a Russian novelist. They formed in 1998, and recorded their first album in a garage. They played at festivals before eventually getting signed and have since released a lot more records (seven by 2013) and been featured on Conan. They are a really great band so check them out. In other news, I had breakfast with my family again today, as is normal for Saturday, but once again my uncle came with my cousin. She's almost two years old and is sharp as a tack. Last time she came I was able to make a bunny out of my winter gloves because a friend taught me in junior high, so this time she was waiting for it. The second I put on one of the gloves she was getting excited and saying ba (that's baby for bunny) at me because she knew what was happening. She also refused to let me put the bunny away, so I had to eat my breakfast one handed with the wrong hand. Then she got super excited when she saw that I had ketchup because she also wanted ketchup even though her breakfast was pancakes.... This whole time my sister was confused because she doesn't understand anything Mya is trying to say. Since Sammy was on the end of the booth though, when Mya wanted to walk around it was her who had to go with...which my uncle thinks is hilarious...because he loves to torture us with uncomfortable situations. We've been hanging out since, but everyone just left so I thought I'd share the story.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 288

Hi. So today I give you Telephone by The Black Angels.

I have two songs from this band saved on my computer to use for the blog, and I had trouble deciding which one for today. I will eventually show you the other one, but that'll be a while later so it's staggered. Alright, so these guys are from Texas and formed in 2004. Current members include Stephanie Bailey, Christian Bland, Alex Maas, Kyle Hunt, and Jake Garcia. The name actually comes from a Velvet Underground song. Their name isn't the only inspiration from the Velvet Underground that the band has gotten. They are also known for their logo, which is a black and white photo of the singer from the Velvet Underground. They gained popularity after being featured on a psychedelic music mix in 2005 and have been going strong since. They've released four studio albums, been featured in many movies and have toured a lot. Some of the notable tour mates they've had are The Black Keys, Queens of the Stone Age and Wolfmother. So if you like any of the other bands I've mentioned, you will most likely be into these guys. Check them out.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 287

Hello everyone! Today's song is Time Go by Caught A Ghost.

This band is from LA, and are relatively new. The released their debut album last year and have since become pretty popular. All the band members (including people who aren't in it anymore) are Jesse Nolan, Stephen Edelstein, Tessa Thompson, Erik Hughes, Tim McKay, Michael Czaja, Brandon Smith, Justin Glass, Ian Sloane, Jasmine Jamison, and Keith Patterson. Like I did once before, this isn't the original song, but one of the easier listening mixes, because this is the one that I heard first. But I have included the link to the original song here. This song didn't really need an easy listening version because it's already like that, but the majestic channel is where I find some new music and I do want to give them credit as well. Their YouTube states that "Majestic Casual represents the best of electronic music, deep house, experimental, hip-hop, indie, pop and many more. It's part of the majestic brand which is based in Stuttgart, Germany and was established in the year 2011 as one of the first audiovisual music blogs on YouTube." So if you like finding new stuff and need some more ways to do that, here a really good one. So check out the band and this channel, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 286

Hey. So today's song is Alps by Motorama.

Okay, these guys are significantly more widely known than the guy yesterday, so this should be easier. Or...not. They're a band from Russia, specifically Rostov-on-Don which I had never heard of before this moment, but sounds interesting. They have tons of outlets to their fans through social media, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and even Tumblr. Despite this I still can't even find their names. It might be my fault though since I don't know Russian (despite always want to learn...I should really get on that.) They've been a band since at least 2010 and have played all over Europe. They have fans everywhere because clearly their music is amazing. They are still uploading videos to their YouTube channe so go check out more of their stuff and prepare for the day they tour your country. Because I guarantee they will.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 285

Hi guys. So today's song is A Hard Look At The Facts by Balance Problems.

I've failed you guys on this one, I have zero information about the artist. I don't know his name, I don't know when he started, and I don't know how many albums he has. I've been looking, I've tried to find something, but I guess I suck today. Sometimes that's the problems with finding new music, is that no one else knows it. He has been active in music since at least 2009, but most likely before that. The one thing I know for sure is that he is keen on everyone sharing the songs and getting his stuff out there, so I can at least help with that. All the music from this album is on YouTube so you can hear more of it and this video in particular is not as long as it seems, there's actually about two minutes of nothing at the end, so when the music stops you can close it. I will try and have more info for the next one, but I hope you still enjoy this no matter what!

Peace.

Year 3, Day 284

Happy Groundhog Day!! I give you I'm The Mountain by Stoned Jesus.

So my grandma informed me that in Calgary, our groundhog isn't actually a groundhog. I have been lied to my entire life! I was going to get really angry and then she told me....it's actually some dude dressed up in a groundhog costume. We wait for a dude named Balzac Willy to come out and see his shadow.  I....WHAT?.....hahahaha. It's so ridiculous that I can't even be mad, it's brilliant. Anyway, on to the music. These guys are from the Ukraine and formed in 2009. There's three current members: Sid, Viktor and Igor. The band has released two albums, one in 2010 and one in 2012. They've also released two demos and an EP during their career. I enjoy their humor, or at least what I can see from their pages. On the band's Facebook page under interests they put "your mom." Classic. It's kind of a long song, but it's good so I hope you enjoy it.

Peace.

Year 3, Day 283

Hi. So today's song is Warpainting by The Myrrors.

These guys are from Arizona and formed in 2007. The members are Nik Rayne, Grant Beyschau, Cody Schwartz, Connor Gallaher and Miguel Urbina. Nik and Grant met in high school, and clicked when it came to music... so they formed the band. The first two years saw a lot of people come in and out of the band until they guys discovered Caesar through MySpace. I listed the members that their Facebook had at the beginning of this post, but from what I can tell this specific song was with Nik, Grant and Caesar.Warpainting is one of their bigger hits, getting lots of views on YouTube. It's been a favorite to play at live shows, and was written to embody the feelings of people who are really affected when nations go to war. The guys lost touch a bit after high school, and disbanded when they all went off to college in different states, but as far as I know they all still jam together and may even release more things. Only time will tell.

Peace.
