I'm going to promise, here and now, to actually keep up with this blog this summer. It's been nearly 2 months since my last entry. I'm also going to seriously get down to some music reviews, too. I've found out about so many amazing bands (such as The Rocket Summer and Family Force 5.) I'm also going to get to do a couple of concert reviews: Warped Tour (mainly Relient K, Anberlin, and Family Force 5) and American Idol.
I'm going to start off with a mini-review of sorts. I bought the new Relient K EP today. It's got over 20 tracks, many previously unreleased, and each member of the band takes over lead vocals at least once. I'm not even halfway finished listening to it and I'm loving it. I haven't spent much time listening to RK lately. Every once in awhile I'll put on Devastation and Reform (my fave RK song) or randomly start singing Mood Ring. But this band means so much to me. It's that feeling I get when I hear one of their new songs. It's like Matt Theissen's voice is a comfort to me, similar to the way I feel when I talk to one of my best friends. I love the way they have songs that can make me smile and they have songs that can make me think. So many other artists I listen to now can do this, but for some reason, Relient K is different. It's hard to explain, but one of my best friends feels the same way about The Wedding.
Other bands I'm sure I'll be telling you about include: Family Force 5, The Almost, The Rocket Summer, Eleventyseven, and who knows what else.
Something bugged me today. I adore Brian McFadden. I have a Westlife poster on my wall, I have most of the Westlife albums, and I have 4 songs off of his solo record, one of which I got today. Now his single 'Real To Me' has some cursing in it, but there is a clean version available. Now I go and buy another of his songs today based on the 30-second preview on iTunes and I find a similar curse word in it. I hate unnecessary cursing in music. HATE it. If it's used in context, I'm alright with it. But he has 2 songs(that I know of) on the album with cursing thrown about. On the same album where he also has a song he's singing to his 2 young daughters. Here's to hoping the rest of the album is what I'd come to expect from Westlife.
READ THE ORPHANED ANYTHING'S!!!!!!!!!
My friend got me hooked on Friday Night Lights, so expect to hear tons about that. And Supernatural, which another friend got me in to. And there is a new season of Shear Genius! Woo hoo! But they've already cut my favorite! Bye Parker! :( And I so called that Stephanie would win Top Chef! Congrats Chef Stephanie!!!
I might go see a few movies (other than the new Batman) this summer, so I'll post a review of whatever I end up seeing (Like the new American Girl movie. I might take my niece to see it. And I do actually want to see it.)
That's about it for now!
Later Days!
Oh, yeah. David Cook won American Idol! YAY!!!!!!!!!!
