Matt White again?

On that note, I have one of the catchiest indie bands I've ever heard...locally grown in Austin, Texas!


I found this band before stumbling upon the artist Matt White... strange?? yea.. it was a long time ago.. before YOUTUBE EXISTED!!!

Anyways, check out this sound!!
See full size image
Thats the album cover for their album, Burn Out Bright!

Don't forget to support the local artists!! Oh.. and of course the well known ones!! Keep them coming!

Playing with Ketchup.

Hope everyone had a nice lil mini break...
I had a tragedy and disappointment occur before last summer, and that was when my external hard drive completely crashed. It was the only place where my music was saved and I was very upset over that. But, a miracle happened because this year around September, I decided to give it another try. I plugged that baby in and it started right up! Good news is that I have all my music back! Reflections During that time, was a down period in my music obsession, because I didn't want to find new artists or else I would feel the need to download and buy their music. If I did that though, I would have no other means of saving it. BUT, if I happened to stumble upon new music and artists that I liked, I wrote the name down on my white board and just kept a lil list. Teitur Nizlopi The Boy Least Likely to My Favorite Highway Ballas Hough Band Miniature Tigers
etcetcetc...etc..
Sooo just yesterday I started to find the albums and good stuff!!!
I want to share with you one of my all time favorite male solo artists.
Introducing Matt White..he has himself a nice elvis-ish look
don't you agree?

John Butler Trio Wins.

"I don't wanna be wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going down the one-way road."
One Way Road - John Butler Trio (HD)

John Butler Trio | MySpace Music Videos


This catchy song will be stuck in my head for the rest of the month..

They come they take
It’s never enough because they can’t relate
To the real world
Thinking that the oyster is just for the pearl
They start those wars
They want to own the land sea and all the stars
And right those wrongs
They change their history with their poison forked tongues.
All right, who’s they?
A: Maybe it’s the government of today
Or B: for the big business man who thinks the whole world revolves around him
Or C: for the corrupt official for A and B he be the man in the middle
Or D: for discoverer for Cook and Columbus and the pirate plunderers.

Doesn’t mean I ain’t got no fight now just because I don’t got a gun
The lyrical is heavier than lead and this guitar is my canon
Just like Martin and Mahatma I’m gonna love I’m gonna over come
Maybe its E: for all of the above but I don’t want to be…

Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going down the one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going on a one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up

These men who they say we should follow BUT we can’t follow men if their hearts are hollow and
Mmmm yes how can we respect puppet regimes we do not elect?
Straight up straight up like Pinocchio and every time they lie man the fire just grows so
Now’s time to be part of the solution raise your fist if you believe in revolution

Doesn’t mean I ain’t got no fight now just because I don’t got a gun
The lyrical is heavier than lead and this guitar is my canon
Just like Martin and Mahatma I’m gonna love I’m gonna over come
Maybe its E for all of the above but I don’t want to be....

Living in a pantomime living in a fantasy
I don’t want to be don’t want to be I don’t want to be don’t want to be no
Living in a pantomime living in a fantasy
I don’t want to be don’t want to be I don’t want to be don’t want to be...

Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going down the one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going on a one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up

Absense makes the heart grow fonder..

Guess what I stumbled upon browsing through youtube? Another band! They say not to judge cds by the cover and I did, and I'm glad I did because this band is really good! I'm really surprised that they are not even more popular. You might have heard them before, if you watch One Tree Hill...or if you are fans of Paramore because they toured with them..


I like them because they find a good balance with electronica, ambience, and indie pop

Oh ya BTW they just came out with a new album, Absense, in April of 2009.

Please Recycle,

As I am sitting down to my curve packet, getting prepared for a major history exam tomorrow...I am listening to my all-time faves and it feels like home. I have a playlist of all my fave songs, and since I thought I had lost all my music I was not able to listen to them, but it is all fixed and life is GREAT! My day has been made complete because I am listening to familiar songs that just put me in a jovial mood.


Speaking of Recycling...

Was introduced to me by my friend in Michigan and he sent me this song which I found was very very much interestin..and well pieced. His name is Peter Bull, if you just listen...you will understand what style of music he makes. (after the jump...just wanted to try it )

Anyways, he makes mash ups... remixes... multiple songs pieced together... really sweet
