I'm a quitter!

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 11:46:30 -0400

So I’ve kind of abandoned this blog as of late, and like everyone else in the world, I’m spending my time online on Twitter, so if you’d like to keep up to date with what I’m doing and where I’ve been (and read interviews with bands and all sorts of fun stuff like that), feel free to follow me:

Hangin’ out with the lovely Lights at Warped ‘09 in Toronto 7/10. If you have the opportunity, go see this girl play, buy some merch, and support what she’s doing. I might be biased, being a fellow Torontonian, but what’s life without a little bias?

CLICK HERE to listen to Lights!

Oh, and bring her some beef jerky.

Will be at the Toronto date tomorrow, bright and early. I’ll be hanging out watching bands all day, and doing a couple interviews if there’s time. Feel free to say hi if you see me wandering around.

I don’t think I could be more psyched for this record.

antpants:

Here’s my first solo song. It’s called “The Ballad of Bill The Saint”. I wrote it the day before this show so it may change a little bit by the time it’s recorded for real but this is pretty much it. Hope you guys like it!!

You and me both, Steve-O.

I guess I’m 21 now, which means I can legally drink anywhere in the world. Who is gonna step up and take me to Vegas? I’m looking at.. all of you. Nahh, I don’t want any gifts (alright, so that’s not entirely true), but I do want a favor. If you don’t already listen to these bands, get on it. Here are my birtday recs:

A Loss for Words, This Time Next Year, Set Your Goals, Grave Maker, Four Year Strong, Bayside, I Am the Avalanche, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, Title Fight, Trapped Under Ice, Energy, A Day to Remember, Shook Ones, We Are the Union, Paint it Black, Ruiner, Fireworks, The Wonder Years, Crime in Stereo, This is Hell, Polar Bear Club, Defeater, Alkaline Trio, Senses Fail, Comeback Kid, Living with Lions and Transit.

Got it? Good! Now how about that picture of me up there with my bro and my old man? I’m the handsome little sprout down in front. I swear, one-piece red pyjamas were in.

joshlyford:

FOUR YEAR STRONG POSTS A NEW SONG FROM THEIR 90’S COVER CD.

“We are “absolutely” stoked (get it??) to bring you guys the first song from our upcoming 90s cover album Explains It All - “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)”. You know it, you love it, and we do too. In fact, “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” was the deciding factor to make this album. After wanting to cover it forever (along with a slew of other 90s favorites), we were inspired andExplains It All was born. Run on over to MYSPACE and check out the track that got us ready and raring for this album! And remember, Explains It All comes out July 21st! COWABUNGA, dude.”

It’s Sunday, which means it’s time to talk vinyl, so instead of showing off part of my collection, I thought I’d drop a little rec. Go get this record on wax if you haven’t already.

$13 and your choice of color? Pick up a copy at the B9 store HERE.

Sun, 31 May 2009 18:26:15 -0400

You’re looking at my dinner from last night that’s now hiding somewhere in my bowels. My friend Corey and I ordered this bad boy just in time for the hockey game. BBQ sauce galore.

On another note, I’ve been slacking on updates lately, but let’s not play the blame game. Home from an exhausting weekend in London. Nice to have a chance to see some old faces and meet new friends, but it’s time for a little rest and relaxation now.

Late to the party, but you can color me addicted. Finally got around to watching Lost, and now I can’t stop myself. I’m only twelve episodes in, but I’ve gotta ask; is it totally fucked up that a little part of me wants to get stranded on a deserted island for a while? Maybe a little.

Never seen it? If you’re interested, you can watch the pilot HERE.

Fri, 22 May 2009 16:25:00 -0400

Just call me Sleeping Beauty. I’m pretty thankful I’m not on any sort of 9-5 schedule, or I don’t know what I’d do. With that said, I need to stop sleeping in so late. I think I’m going to make it my week-long resolution to get up before lunchtime. Deal? Sounds good.

Thu, 21 May 2009 17:53:00 -0400

LEGIT! If this tour comes within 15,000 miles of you, do yourself a huge favor this summer and go! I mean, can you really beat Four Year Strong, Set Your Goals, Polar Bear Club, Fireworks, The Swellers, Grave Maker, and Drive A all one ONE tour? Nahh. I’ll be at the Toronto date, and I am giddy like a fucking pre-pubescent school girl. Weeeee.

Convinced? Pre-sale tickets are available HERE starting today. Summer’s here, kids.

Just hanging out watching Blink on Leno, no big deal. I won’t spoil it for all of you west coast folk, but damn, it felt good to see those three back on stage together. It’s about time.

What is your favorite Blink song? For me, it’s gotta be Dumpweed, my high school jam.
