Song of the Day: “Cumbersome” by Seven Mary Three

Here’s a 90’s flashback for ya. This is one of the greatest rock singles I ever heard in the 90’s. It’s got a heavy and tight rhythm. The vocals are great and so is the melody. I also got to see this band live once years ago. It’s a badass tune, in my opinion. Their first album, “American Standard” was really great. I wonder whatever happened to this band? They seem to have disappeared from the industry.

Song of The Day: “Limelight” by Rush

In celebration of Rush’s 40th Anniversary tour announcement. I’m a huge fan of Rush myself and had the opportunity to see them live once at SPAC long ago. I would love to see Rush again but they are not coming to Albany or Saratoga Springs this Spring/Summer at all which kind of sucks but I’m glad Rush is playing again. Hopefully, the band has plans to record a new album soon too!

Here’s the full tour listing:

I want to get the new Bjork album…

The new Bjork album “Vulnicura” is finally out and I’m probably gonna end up getting it soon! This is her follow up album from her 2011 album, “Biophelia” (which I also have and a very good album). I love Bjork, have been a fan since 1993. I don’t have all of her albums, though. Just a couple of them. I only have: “Vespertine”, “Medulla”, “Biophelia” and her remix album, “Telegram”.

I used to have her first album, “Debut” on CD a long time ago but I don’t know what happened to it. I’ll get that album again through Itunes at some point. I would like to collect the rest of her music.

Yeah, I’m mostly into hard rock and metal… that’s my preferred genre but I’ll listen to a little bit of everything else like always. It’s okay to listen to a little bit of pop music, ya know? Ya gotta listen to other things other than your preferred genre. I listen to all types of music except for country and classical.

Bjork’s new album “Vulnicura” was originally supposed to be released in the Spring but it’s getting released this week due to the album leak. Bjork is awesome. I loved her for a long time and still do! Can’t wait to hear the new album!

Johnny Depp finally calls it, he says actors who use their fame to start music careers is pretty sickening and I agree!!!

I’ve always wondered why people stayed so silent on this. Actors who appears to be musicians using the movie industry just to get into the music industry. Johnny Depp finally calls it! This always bothered me too.

There are WWAAAAaaayyyyy too many actors who have used their movie career to get into the music industry. Lets list them all shall we??? We have: Russell Crowe, Jared Leto, Bruce Willis, Steven Seagal, Kevin Bacon, Billy Bob Thornton, Kevin Costner, Jeff Bridges, Ryan Gosling, William Shatner, etc. This list is pretty endless.

I think it’s safe to say that if it weren’t for their movie careers, they would have never gotten record deals.

Before anyone calls Johnny a hypocrite, Johnny is not a full time musician. He has never released albums on his own like all those actors I listed above. He was never in the music business full time. He did play in the band called, The Kids but that was before his fame, I think. They weren’t really a big band anyway.

I’m glad Johnny finally called this out!!! \m/

Metallica finally hits HQ studios for new album…

Here is Rob tracking bass parts for their new upcoming untitled album which is gonna be the follow-up from “Death Magnetic”.

This is the long time studio that Metallica the band owns themselves. This studio is not owned by record labels or anything like that.

Check out the video below of the band giving you a tour of their studios. The video below was probably during the “St. Anger” recording.

Can’t wait for the new Metallica album! \m/
