Fair To Midland – Featured Band
Yes, so perhaps “Band of the Week” has been discontinued, but at least we could still call this “Band of the Indefinite Time Period” if we wanted. Anyway, I’ll cut to the chase. I’m just now getting into a band I’ve known about for a while but only based on one song. That band is … Continue reading
Tunes of the Moment
I’m not gonna go into much detail here; the title should serve as a sufficient means to make at least a halfway-decent inference about the subject matter of this post (there was probably a much shorter way of saying that but I was being deliberately verbose for no other purposes than self-amusement). Check out these … Continue reading
NHL’s Time to Shine?
Great post about Kevin Gregg and David Ortiz. Ortiz is such a hypocritical punk. And Gregg might now be my favorite non-Yankee reliever (the fact that he’s on my fantasy team also makes it easier to root for him). Anyway, continuing in the sports realm, how interesting is it that there exists the possibility of … Continue reading
The King’s Speech: A film fit for an ordinary citizen
Amidst my depressingly large amount of work for UGA’s MMR program, I am happy to have a little time here to post about a movie I saw recently (before the onslaught of schoolwork). After hearing about how great The King’s Speech was, and seeing all of the Oscars it won (most notably Best Picture and … Continue reading
Band of the Week/Indefinite Time Period: The Veer Union
Yes, it’s been more than a week (actually, it’s been three), but I felt it was necessary to allow more time for the Digital Summer post to garner some more views. My latest featured band is a Canadian group called The Veer Union. The Veer Union is a hard rock group that hails from Vancouver. … Continue reading
Band of the Week: Digital Summer
My apologies for being a bit late with the newest band of the week (or, more realistically, 7-12 day period). I know there must be so many annoyed readers out there (….), but this week’s band is definitely worth the wait. The featured group is a Phoenix-based outfit called Digital Summer. This band first came … Continue reading
Band of the Week: Eye Empire
Per a previous post of Ryan’s and some comments about the now-defunct band Submersed, this week’s featured band is a supergroup called Eye Empire. Eye Empire’s lead singer is Donald Carpenter, who was Submersed’s vocalist before they sadly disbanded. This fact sparked my initial interest in Eye Empire, as I think Carpenter has a truly … Continue reading
Band of the Week: Egypt Central
After discussing a band named after an Egyptian god, we will transition smoothly to a band called Egypt Central. An alternative metal band from Memphis, Egypt Central consists of vocalist John Falls, guitarist Jeff James, bassist Joey Chicago, and drummer Blake Allison. As far as the style of the band, I would best describe them … Continue reading
Debut Band of the Week: Ra
In an effort to be more active on this blog, I am starting a new trend called “Band of the Week.” The title is pretty self-explanatory; every week (or more realistically, every 7-12 days), I will post briefly about a certain band and give a short profile as well as some song samples. I will … Continue reading
