Did you hear that? Those were crickets chirping. How about we drown out that sound by opening up a can of awesome?
Yeah, it’s been a while and I’d like to take this time to apologize for my absence. Between moving, getting back to the grind in Flint, and various other projects I just kind of let this beast slip through the cracks. Fear not. I’m raising the jolly roger once more. I’ve decided to take the Bones off of hiatus and add a little more structure to it. The blog will now be updating twice a week: Mondays and Thursdays. As always, previous articles will be kept up here for your enjoyment and amusement, just click the tabs, or scroll down depending on what screen you’re viewing.
Back to the grind! What’s been up internet? Summer’s in full swing right now, the birds are chirping, the sky is blue, and for once Michigan isn’t a total hoe-bag. (Audible Squee!) Of course the summer has brought with it quite a bit of new and interesting things both musically and otherwise. The first of which has been chomping at me for several weeks now. Have you guys heard this Adele chick? I’d like to start this off by saying that modern popular music is generally something I avoid at all costs. It’s financially driven rubbish for the most part and I just can’t bring myself to like something that was engineered to make money, but this… I guess I feel dirty saying it, but I really enjoy this. The girl is from Europe, but sings like she’s from the glorious south. I don’t mean Hank Williams south, I mean John Lee Hooker south. The big hit song right now is called Rollin in the Deep. Very good. To whoever came up with this: well done. You have pleased me. More importantly though, I really appreciate the public actually liking it. It’s not every day that a song with such real bluesy feeling gets airtime here. It’s even rarer that such a song is listened to during said airtime. Well done.
On to other news. I heard through the rumor mill that the band Halestorm had broken up. This was of course from the knowledgeable gentleman that works at a t-shirt booth. After checking not only their facebook and myspace pages, but also their official band page, I have yet to see any real trouble lurking. Of course, maybe t-shirt man knows something that the internet does not. It’s happened before.
I’d like to take this time to further expand my nerd-apeal. I’ve been playing the new installment of American McGees Alice, which is quite the fine game, indeed. I would like to take this moment to voice a bit of outrage, however. When I press the A button, you’re supposed to jump. When I tap it twice, you’re supposed to jump higher. Here’s an idea: Why don’t you do that? Maybe then you wouldn’t have died eighty billion times and you could have saved both me AND you a good hour on that last level. Beastly!
Well that’s our show today, thanks for reading. As always I’d like to remind you that this blog is spread largely through word of mouth, and google. Hey google readers. What’s up? I’d also like to point out the fact that the more followers that I have, the more validated I feel. My life has meaning thanks to you lemmings. You’re sweet hearts. Really. Click that follow button for me will ya? :)
Toodles Folks. See ya Thursday.
