Monday is the day of the week between Sunday and Tuesday

ANYONE is now able to post comments! I had some setting wrong so even if you don't have a blogger account you can still tell me how awesome it was when I came up with the equation for geometric quantum mechanics and why it causes the Green Bay Packers to rule.

Two new songs are posted up in the usual spot. Doves is a group out of England. Firesuite is the best song off the Lost Souls albums. The Black Keys song Tighten Up gets airplay on the radio/MTV, but I like the song Never Gonna Give You Up. Their album Brother is highly recommended.

Biggest news lately is some incredible new music I found. I've only been listening to one of their albums because I want the others to be something new later on, but I think I can claim this group as my new all time favorite. This 10 track playlist is their entire cd called Bliss & Death. You know how with most albums you usually skip over a few songs because they just don't do it for you every time you go through the whole cd??? This isn't one of those albums. Although you should, if you can't get to the whole album now, listen to Edge of the World. Listen to it in silent pitch dark so you can't see or hear anything, only the music.




Here are some pictures from work.







Alright one last thing because I saw a commercial just now...
Anyone wondering about the remixed 80's song on the Verizon Samsung Fascinate commercial??? I know I was so I researched it. Original song is (Keep Feeling) Fascination by The Human League. Turns out the 9 second loop on the commercial is a sample mixed for Verizon. The closest full version to the commercial sample is the White Label Remix. Here it is.

a good life to live

Sorry for the lack of posts, here's a new one as requested.

Today was a good day and I was glad to be where I am. I've been missing Milwaukee the past couple weeks and of all things mowing fairways today at work helped me realize I should be happy with life. We worked 12 hours yesterday, a little more than 11 today and will work tomorrow about the same. I spent the past 8 hours of work today mowing fairways. It was awesome! I had been waiting to be able to do that since I started there and scared a few people with how excited I was. Honestly, I would have cut them for free. Back to the point...sitting there 10 feet in the air on a huge open air mower with the sun shining on me all day was a great feeling.

Two great new songs are up. The first song, Anoanimal, I found randomly about a half year ago while watching a longboarding video. It's like three different songs in one. All I can picture and think about when listening to this song is how cold it was outside and driving to a restaurant a few times after my internship. I went there because I liked this waitress lol. Here is the video with the song. You don't even have to be into longboarding to appreciate the video. If you have time, watch all 7 parts to their Puerto Rico tour.


The second song I've been listening to since junior year of high school, more than 6 years ago. I bought this trace cd at Best Buy and this song was on it. At the time I had my Mitsubishi Eclipse with my subs so I thought I was the shit listening to these trance songs. This is the only song from that cd I listen to yet. The group Andain is from San Francisco.

On a normal day, I unfortunately find it hard to appreciate what I have, but all it takes is one day like today to give me an awakening. Putting some headphones in and looking up in the sky forces (in a good way) to see all I have to be thankful for. Just as most is easier said than done, it is more easily overlooked than realized. If that makes sense to you, good. If not? To bad.
