GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

CAN'T WAIT!!!

Too Long to be a Tweet

No photo...sorry. Moving on...

Came home tonight and got into the whole college conversation with my mom. Tried to explain to her where I had my difficulties...

Well, let me spell this out for you...

Besides the fact that it was hard for me to care for/go to classes that I already had/knew the material for, it was hard for me to take classes that led to an end result that I already knew most of. Every class that I ever "failed" in college, I passed on paper (with A's), it was just the damn attendance that fucked me up. Now, I take complete responsibility for that and have never placed the blame on others. With that being said, the last thing I need to here is, "I would've known this" or "I would've known that!" ...Shit, I know that now! That's what got me in this position! You don't think I know that?!

All I ever tried to do was explain my side of everything, where I was coming from. It just sucks hard as hell when you try to express yourself and all you get is shit. I've been trying as hard as I can to make up for the wasted time and money. The only thing I've ever asked for in return was a little bit of understanding. To not get that is a bit discouraging.

Anyway, I'm well aware of the mistakes I've made and I've been making strides to correct them. That's all I really give a shit about at this point. All I care about is making progress and being happy, fuck everything and everybody else.

With that being said, I'm out!
Peace, bitches!

Chiodos - Ole Fishlips is Dead Now

Glad that Chiodos is putting out some new tunes...

But here's my fear: they're going to completely forget about Illuminaudio, which, in my opinion, was their best work to date. They should build off of that record, not take a step back to before things changed. Lyrically and sonically it was a great piece of work. I understand they got their original singer back and nobody doubts that he's one helluva front man, but Brandon Bolmer (singer on Illuminaudio) is a far better songwritier than Craig Owen has shown. I'm not a fan of the super-emo, whiny songs. Just give me a good subject, some structure, perform it well, and I'm good. I don't need to hear you cry on 10 songs about girls being whores and shit. Best example: "Thermacare" vs "Stratovolcano Mouth." Listen and tell me which one is stronger lyrically.

Now, the craziest part about all of this, in recent interviews with the band, they all but said they wanted Craig Owens to do what Brandon Bolmer did (lower the range a bit, incorporate more falsetto, stronger lyrical value, and such). And I'm sure some will say, "well, Craig started the band and it'd be weird to sing somebody else's lyrics and blah blah blah...." Well, Saosin did it. And well. Hell, Dance Gavin Dance has done it a few times. I recently saw a show of theirs where they performed several songs from their album Happiness (singer Kurt Travis), a record that didn't feature either of their current vocalists (Tillian Pearson and Jon Mess).

Don't get me wrong, everything that I've heard from the upcoming Chiodos record has been great. I just don't want everything else that I haven't heard to be All's Well That Ends Well or copies (lyrically) of "Thermacare."

Anyway, enjoy the song!
Also, take note that the drumming on this song may be the best of any Chiodos song ever released. Just sayin...
