I'm Almost Back/Dr. Dog at Terminal 5

Well, I don't want a thing to do with your kind.  And I ain't got no time to kill on your dime.  I haven't written anything in a while because I have been extremely busy with school, work, the gym, and everything in between.  However, by the end of this week I'll be done with this trimester.  I definitely want to rev up my posts on here.  I got some some new ideas for this site.  I am already planning some posts on stock picks, and I have some more reviews ready in the pipeline.  Overall things have been going pretty well for me lately.  I am somehow managing to BS my way through numerous school projects and papers without any hitches.  I have also been getting really good results form the gym, especially in the last few days.  Let's just say I found a "new" source of motivation.  And to top off an already amazing week, I got to go see Dr. Dog perform at Terminal 5 for a second time.

Music Pick of the Week - Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History

I discovered these guys almost a year ago. I got the album, but never listened to it until about a few months back. Late is always better than never, and for Two Door Cinema Club's debut album, Tourist History is better than most. TDCC has an upbeat contemporary pop sound that would fit perfectly in most car commercials. Even if that doesn't make sense to you , it is a great album to listen to while driving at night. While this kind of pop isn't my favorite genre, this album is highly addicting and I can't get enough.

Album Review / Pick of the Week - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes

I found out about these guys by luck.  I noticed my friend John had the song Home in his recent plays list.  Then the next morning I heard my brother Steve play the song.  Listening to it half asleep, I fell in love with it.  Then realizing what I had heard was the same guys John was listening to I decided to get the album and check it out.  Edward Sharpe’s debut album Up from Below unexpectedly became one of my favorite albums of the year.  Edward Sharpe and Crew successfully brought me back to a better time, allowing me to revisit the Wild Wild West as if it were a soundtrack to a classic western film.

Album Pick of the Week - The Brothers of Chico Dusty

For my album pick of the week I'm recommending The Brothers of Chico Dusty by Wick-It the Instigator. This is my album pick of the week for two reasons.  Number one, the album is free for download off the artist's website(see link below).  Number two, the album is a mash-up of Big Boi's and the Black Keys' latest albums.  Nuff said.

Brandon Flowers Solo Album/Concert Review

This year was a big year for Killer's fans.  While the Killers decided to go on break lead singer Brandon Flowers recorded a solo album called Flamingo in early September.  The Killers are my favorite band and I was excited to hear any new material even if it was only from one of its members.  I followed the release very closely finding live versions of many of the songs before the official release.  Having a good idea of the main concept of the album I had a good feeling about things to come.
