METAL!

Been in touch with my ol' buddy from the punk rock days, Timmy G. He was gracious enough to a) Tell me NOT to listen to Lamb of God, and b) direct me to proper metal of the century. Below you will find the list with links. Be sure to check his band out, holy wow the dude rocks. If you're interested, his band has a show on March 1st @ Mickey Finns in Toledo, OH. On with the rocking....

Human Abstract

Children of Bodom

A Wilhelm Scream

All that remains

And finally, Timmy G's band - A Red Herring Fallacy

Valentine's Day for the tech-geek

I'm not a big Valentine's Day guy, but this year I decided I should act on it and buy my wife something. I have it a little rougher than you all. My wife is a tech-geek. Probably more so than myself. So shopping gets a little more complicated. The good thing is, she is also a big music fan, so I picked her up an iTunes gift card. She will just have to log into iTunes music store, enter the # on the back, and begin downloading her favorite songs/tv-shows/movies. I can guess though, that she'll be picking up the 2006 released My Chemical Romance album Black Parade (check out the recent popular radio-played-tune Famous Last Words). Way cooler than chocolates.

Along with the card/iTunes gift card, I thought I would go the extra mile, and include a poem in the card (chicks dig poems - this will score you major points).
A poem?! Yeah, I wouldn't normally suggest it, but check this out:
Love Poem Generator. Drop your girls name in the box and click a button. You can edit the poem to your liking and print it.

Thank me later. Happy Valentine's day.

L.A.W.

Back when Lazy American Workers rocked the Toledo scene, they ended each beer soaked concert with this song. Those were definitely some of the most memorable concerts I've ever been to - I have a scar on my forehead to prove just how fun they were. :)



Thank you Iron Maiden.

Night Swimming - R.E.M.

I could listen to this song over and over again. Actually, that's why I'm posting it, so i can listen to it while I work tomorrow!
Great tune.

Get up get coffee...

My dudes

Ruth's Hat - Everyday (buddy holly).

Good work guys, good to see your still rockin out.
