getting back to musicglob

I’ve been working on musicglob little by little the past few weeks. I’m pretty close to relaunching back into everything. For now I want to go through hopefully all my email before I go live with the new version of the site.

One of the new features of musicglob is I have created a sort-of “news wire” for myself. It is aptly named “the musicglob wire” and is over at wire.musicglob.com In the new version of the site I have a section in the sidebar that displays a list of the latest posts on the wire and links to them. This was all made possible via the Simplepie wordpress plugin that allows me to pull any RSS feeds and display based on templates. I thought about keeping “the wire” in my main weblog and just display it as a category… yet I decided to keep things organized and setup another Wordpress installation for the wire. That way if that space expands, it has room to grow without screwing up any of my other musicglob stuff.

I still have lots of ideas of a direction for musicglob… only time is the factor at this point.

Kiss me goodbye
For the doctors are comin’
We all know why
Because I wasn’t born
Here we go again
As time passes by here
We don’t live and lie here
We’re all going to die
In the end

… if you just read that you might think it’s some kind of emo song. heck no.
“12 = 3″ by Imarobot.

One of my favorite tracks off of the pretty old album.

I’ve got my work cut out for me. A stack of a buncha cds, and so little time. So far I’m liking this Boy Kill Boy advance I just got today. Really quite awesome.

This summer is going to be filled with music and a bunch of other stuff, fun stuff I plan. Also working a bunch to make da skrilla. ($)

Wolfmother is a crazy awesome band and they played a rad show Tuesday night at Cinespace. It was sooo packed.

I really like this picture b/c 1) I don’t really know how I did this (I can figure it out maybe…) 2) It’s actually two photos - see the bottom right, yeah that’s the drummers head.

I’m becoming increasingly more happy with photography. I already was but now I’m getting even more into it.

MusicGlob.com - A Glob of Music! border="0"

MusicGlob.com has been a little project of mine for the last month or so. I had been thinking about starting a music weblog for a long time and finally threw myself into it, and I love every bit of it. It’s basically a blog about music I like, and also up and coming music. This “blog” will stay a “blog” for awhile yet I have more plans to make it more useful. Finding new music and blogging is quite the awesome team.

Check it out if you like new music, or even old music. Maybe you’ll find something you’ll like. Don’t forget to pass this on too.

Unwritten Law, Heres to the Mourning

Here's to the Mourning

Unwritten Law - Here’s to the Mourning

I love this album, so much. I started listening to it a bit before they came to my school for free (which was one of the funnest shows I have been to) and I can’t help but listen to the album every week now. It reminds me alot of their last album,Elva. Every song is awesome. Some of my favorites are “Get Up,” “Save Me,” and “She Says.” All goodies along with the rest of the album.

Now a little less about how I love it, and more about how it sounds. The first thing I noticed is that lead singers (Scott Russo) voice had changed a bit from the last album. Not bad, just sounds like he’s been singing alot, or something. The album is mostly pretty hard rock, but there are a couple slower songs and radio singles. This album just became my new favorite Unwritten Law album. Oh, I didn’t even mention that they are cool because they are from San Diego, which my friends and I yelled alot at the show.

Here’s some links for you…

Nothing Is SoundI just watched Switchfoots newest single “Stars.” Beautiful song and awesome video. In fact, I say you click here to go and watch it!

Now I’m going to buy the album off of iTunes. By the way, iTunes 5 is awesome.

Unwritten Law, a band that I have listened to for years is playing at my school. For Free. Wow, I’m really quite shocked. One year Common played there for free and that was quite a good concert. This is a huge surprise to me for a couple reasons. Unwritten Law just came out with a new album, they are very popular, and they are playing at my school, for free.

Anyways, I’m going. More details follow the linky –> Cal Poly Pomona BroncoFusion 2005

Date: Wednesday, September 21, 2005
Time: 6:30pm
Cost: Free, just come.
