A Capital Idea...

So I read an article on Wikipedia, oh, maybe one or two months ago, about a band that I really like. The latest update to it was about them making another album. They've only had one, and it was fantastic. Since it was a Wiki article, I had my doubts about it, BUT TODAY...that's when I saw it. Capital Lights just posted on their facebook today about continuing their music shtuff. So I'm guessing it's pretty much official that they will be coming out with a new CD in the next year. The bad news is that the article also said it would be their last one, but let's not think about that part. I literally have never gotten tired of their first album, This Is An Outrage, within the time that I've had it. It came out in 2008, so I've probably had it 3, maybe 4, years. They aren't the most instrumentally talented band (or at least they weren't), but they do know how to make some sweet tunes. They have a kind of aggressive, happy, pop rock sound, if that's possible. Being the lover of happy-sounding music that I am, I am anxiously anticipating the release of any new music from them. In preparation, you must buy their first album AND watch this video. 

For Those About to Dissolve, I Solute You...

Yes, yes, it was bad, but if you know the original line, than this post is for you. I just bought a Mychildren Mybride album off iTunes. Just think fast paced metal, and awesome. The title is "Lost Boy" and it is quite fantastic, at least for those of you who enjoy thrashing headbanger music, which I do. MCMB has a pretty good use of melody on their first album, Unbreakable, but even more so in their sophomore album. The one downside to their second album is that some of their songs sound very similar, but it's only, like, two, AND they sound pretty amazing anywho. They also have a third album coming out March 13th, and I'm super excited about that one. So this one's for those hard rockers. AND...it's bed time. To all a good night.

Speaking Of The Killers...kinda

I don't know much about this band, but they are closer to home - my home, that is. I think they came out of Bowie, MD, but not 100% sure. They have a folksy sound. Now you may be thinking, "But Him, who cares about folksy?" Also, you may not actually be thinking that, BUT I DIGRESS. Anyway, I think they are actually really good. So, not only am I suggesting you listen to them, but you should also buy their album, Redwoods, on iTunes to support them, because I'm an acquaintance of the guy on the right (in the video) and he's really cool. As far as I know, which may not actually be very much, they do not have any professionally done videos, so this is as good as it gets, I think. PLUS, this song is not actually on their album. Did it used to be? That sounds familiar, but I really don't know. Now introducing Rudder North:

P.S. - You can, and should, visit their website http://www.ruddernorth.com/music.html on which you can listen to the album and see what you think.
