Music I'm jamming to

Back at it with a music post today...

So I've been getting back into some good music recently. I'm always listening to one of the greatest bands out there, Muse. They really just blow me away with their musicality and their intense performances. If you haven't checked out any of their stuff before here are some good videos. The first one is Supermassive Black Hole, really different and almost houseish. The second video is one of my favorite songs of theirs, Map Of The Problematique.

Another band I really want to hype out is The Calm Blue Sea. They are a post-rock band in Austin, similar to Explosions in the Sky. Again they have a show tonight in Austin at Emo's, go check them out. If you want to listen to some of their stuff here is a link to their Last.fm page where you can download their demo. Check it out, you'll really enjoy it. This is the kind of music you can just turn on and listen to. You don't have to think, you just feel the music.

I'll come back with some other music I'm listening to soon. For now check out The Calm Blue Sea and enjoy Muse.

Back at it


So it's been way too long since I last posted here.  There have been many changes in life since then.  I have a new job, which is awesome.  It's been 5 months there now, a really fast 5 months.  I'm in a new great apartment with my kick ass roommate Andy.  Things are good. 


I wanted to use this return post for my friend Chris and his band The Calm Blue Sea. These guys are nothing but awesome and I'm mad they are playing in Austin and I can't see them.  If you've ever heard of Explosions in the Sky, they sound like them but they don't.  Take a listen to Calm Blue Sea they are on the links on the left under favorite band.  If you enjoy it, stick around they have just recently recorded a record so I'll keep you up-to-date with that. 

But if you're in Austin, go check them out on Saturday May 3rd.  They are playing at Emo's with The Midgetmen and The Georgian Company.  There will be free beer and free CD's from The Midgetmen!  If you need more credibility, then The Austinist says go as well.

I leave with that as I'm going to the midnight showing of Iron Man tonight.  Looking forward to it as the previews have been nothing but awesome.  Also, people say I look like Robert Downy Jr. you know minus all of the coke.

Until later (which will be sooner)
