While I said earlier that I agreed with Rolling Stone’s assesment of Radiohead being the band of the decade, I have to say that Starflyer 59′s Dial M is my choice for album of the decade. I have listened to it more in the two years it has been out than any other album I have pretty much ever. That’s saying a lot since I pretty much listen to music all day long. I can never grow tired of the combined rock and synth sounds, a blend that Jason Martin has truly perfected on this album. After The Brothers Martin album was released in 2007 I knew that Jason’s next offering would be something special and I certainly wasn’t let down. If you haven’t checked this out yet, you are totally missing out.
So earlier we were talking about a real guitar that was turned into a Rock Band controller. The You Rock Guitar one ups that because it is a real working guitar AND it is a Rock Band controller. I’ll definitely be interested in buying it when they offer support for the 360. It has lots of other cool real guitar features and it looks like it’s going to be pretty affordable. So hopefully this will give you some ideas for my birthday, which is only six months away!
Man, I love technology. If you had told me five years ago I could post every thought and whim to the Internet from a device that fits in my pocket, I would probably have shook your hand. Now I want one of those Droid phones just because I want to be able to say Droid all day long. And maybe a couple times tell someone this is not the Droid they are looking for. I’m totally sure no one has done that yet.
I’m trying to decide upon a theme for this blog. I think I’m going to go with this minimalist one as I believe it reflects my personality well. While I can be quite loud, I choose not to be. Brax tried to get me to use his theme, but I am my own Manta Ray and I will do what I want! Let me know what you think. Or don’t. See if I care.
If Brax gets a blog, I get one too. Mine is totally cooler though. Expect some rants, raves, and other stuff. If you have any cool music links, bands, songs, or something else awesome you want me to see, hit me up!
