Wow another post on the same day zomg. Im just bored and gotz stuff to say. first lets see what im doing now.

Song on the headphones: They Might be Gaints - experimental film
Food in the stomach: None but soon to change
Weather on the outside: darkish.. as if it were night time. which it is.
Random object on head: Headphones

OK. now i feel special
Here is the get low on the get down

Monty are I is releasing their next big album on August 1st. But me being the important person i am, got to listen to it super early, before anyone else. (Actually they were streaming their entire album on Purevolume)
So i was thinking, maybe i shouldright a reveiw about it, you know get a jump start on my writing carrer. So thats what im about to do.

lets freestyle bitches.

Album Reveiw- Monty Are I Wall of People

You may know them as Monty, you may know them as Monty's Fan club. But who cares about the band's name, they sure didn't when they picked the name Monty Are I as the title that would gracce their first major release Wall of People. They may say they are the same monty, but we all know better than that.
The truth is that Monty's sound has changed drastically over the years. They used to be ska, and damn good ska at that. They sitll may have a horn section but monty has long since drifted away from the ska scene, and this new album proves just that. Monty is no longer ska.

But i never said that was a bad thing.

Instead, The boys of Monty Are I have discovered... a new sound. Something unlike anything else. They call this sound action rock. That name is almost as lame as the name Monty Are I, but never the less, it rocks, just like Monty Are I.

So we got the fact that monty rocks the socks but how good is this album? is it worth my money? Im bored so lets lets break it down.

Song by song
1. Between the Sheets - This song was on their last Cd, the red shift. In fact all of the songs on that cd are on here, but chances are you never heard it. Thats where i come in.
A classic Monty song, and a perfect one to start this album. Its powerful and chatchy, and it really gets you into the song and album. If they ever put out a single, ten bucks says this song is the one they use.
2. Castle Bound- I love the intro to this song, so classy. and it just fits. There are so many little things in this song that sets it apart, I don't like the brigde right before the solo, its like a brick wall, but it makes the guitar solo even more awsome. Its not an amazing solo, but the timing is just perfect and its feel rewarding.
3. Dublin Waltz- A new song yay. I'm not a big fan of this song. Its has its good points but, i dunno. I guess i just have to have a song i don't like.
This song just like most of the other once has alot of little things all over the place that makes it that much better. Theres a cow bell =D. Its soft and faint but after the third time i listened to it i heard it. I also like the fact that the song is actually a waltz. Some bands use waltz in the name of the song but the song isn't actually a waltz. Major props for monty for doing their research. Also the orchrastra in the background is a nice touch and makes the song that much more powerful.
4. Anchor and Hope- i bet this song has something to do with rhode Island =B. Another new song. I havn't really listened to this one enough to get a good feel for it.
oh snap, me g2g go but instead of saving it as a draft and being smart like that, im gonna post what it typed and just edit it later cuz im cool like that =D
okay back. Took a few days later than i thought but whatever. Been workin on new comic ideas. came up witht this pretty kewl story that i might mess around with. and what not.. lets continue with the reveiw.
no fuck the reveiw monty rules go byt he album or check out their purevolume page and deside for yourself. I can't think right now.
and im too busy listening to reel big fish.
only got two things to look foward, the Battle of the bands show on saturday, and SKafest on sunday. Gonna be sweet.
and that was my post lols
"Im sorry i went to mars for a second but im back now and i got t-shirts for everybody!"
-Something someone yelled at the end of a big fish song
I wanted to start a blog where I could post the random thoughts and opinions that are spread throughout my mind. There is no certain subject that I will focus on, nothing is sacred here.

I have other blogs in the past but they all sucked cheeseballs. so I'm starting new and fresh. I decided to try out this site thanks to questionable content, a webcomic that I just recently started reading. I'm not an indie rocker what so ever (I'm metal to the core \m/) but that comic is still enjoyable.

This whole thing my look bland now but ill spruce it up when I get bored.
I gots a myspace too, which I on;y really use to check out bands. Lately I have been trying to avoid this certain group of people so I have not visited my myspace in the past few days. Also the site has been down.

I will also be using this site as a way to exhibit some of my finer works of writings. I am a writer for the website www.localbandsri.com, ill probably be posting anything I write for that site here as well. Also I have written some short stories, well started at least. I may post them here as well.

And band, CD, show, game, and movie reviews, lots of those.
and maybe some random drawings to, who the hells knows.

This is only the beginning
of pain
and joy
