http://metrocomposer.blogdrive.com/ It's Not Over Until The Last Record Spins... Fri, 09 Sep 2005 20:35:11 PDT http://www.blogdrive.com Copyright 2005. Music Writing Photography http://metrocomposer.blogdrive.com/archive/302.html Sat, 10 Sep 2005 04:31:44 GMT So...the new Motorolla ROKR has come out. I have known about this phone for about a couple weeks but I have had to keep my mouth shut about it because I signed a non-disclosure agreement and this directly fell under the agreement. The phone is a hubrid of a phone and iPod. It can hold something like 100 songs on it. It's an okay phone. Kind of pointless for me because I already have an iPod and I prefer to have a lot more than just 100 songs on it...so I will stay with my Sony Ericsson that stomps all over the ROKR. So, for kicks, my Mum and I went into a Cingular store today and played...

Sorry. In response to Krychek's picture of his cd collection...here are some of mine, taken with my Sony camera phone: http://metrocomposer.blogdrive.com/comments?id=301 http://metrocomposer.blogdrive.com/archive/300.html Mon, 22 Aug 2005 23:48:55 GMT ...And it never felt this good. I started the day off in quite a weird way. Being woken up twice by dreams of having sex with ex-girlfriends. And we are talking vivid dreams here...one that you expect to wake up and roll over in bed and find the girl next to you. The first one was just weird in general because it wasn't just me and the girl having sex. There was a whole back story to it and everything. The story was unimportant...it was one of those that only happens in a dream...completely illogical and never going to happen situations. Even the sex wasn't the type of sex that me and this...

It took me quite some time to decide what it was that I was going to download. Here is the list that I ended up downloading; Batalla De Los Tambores (live) - Godsmack (a drum duet between Sulley Erna and Shannon Larkin of Godsmack, off of their dvd 'Changes') The Clansman - Iron Maiden (I had the live cut from 'Rock in Rio', but I wanted to get the album version) Too Young to Fall In Love - Motley Crue (One of my favorite Crue songs that I didn't have) Love is a Battlefield - Pat Benetar (I...

I drug myself into the shower, shaed, washed, brushed teeth and all that cleanliness stuff that I do, and then got out, wrapped a towel around me and went and fired up my computer. Cherish was on and we talked until I was almost late for work because I still had to get dressed and make a lunch. She absolutley made my day. I told her that I needed help with my hair cut because I had no idea what I was going to do with it. When we were going out I...

First off...I am going to see Queen in concert! Yes, I know...most people are probably going 'Uhm...Freddie Mercury is dead bro...wtf?' Yes, Freddies is dead, and that is a tragedy, but Queen have reunited, choosing Paul Rodgers, ex frontman of Bad Company, to be the lead singer for this, what it looks like, short tour. I say that it appears to be short because there are only two shows in the States, one in New Jersey and one in Hollywood. My Mum woke me up at something like 7 in the morning, asking 'Do you want...

It was fun and she enjoyed it...as I knew she would becuase it is one of the most amazing films ever. I realize how much of my life paralels that movie...it is quite disturbing. I love it though. I have 'found' some bands that I love now. The first is Lynch Mob. The band is 'fronted' by George Lynch, ex-guitar player of Dokken. They have an amazing lead singer who hits some great notes. I am in love with their song 'Rleax', which is a very cool power ballad-ish song. The second and third go hand in hand. I got Ozzy Osbourne's 'Prince of Darkness'...

Well...not really. It had the effect that is to be expected. My doc said that once I started taking them every day, something that I started earlier this week, that I would notice a boost in energy. I felt like a speed freak today. Could have also been from the combination of the triple shot vanilla latte and the large Mountain Dew...but the buzz is still rolling strong and it had been hours since I have ingested caffine. Very interesting. Whilst driving home today I looked in the rear view mirror and noticed...

'And if your soul isn't pure?' 'Then you must practice like a motherfucker.' That is the best damn line about practicing music that I have ever heard. I have heard all of those ones about 'practice makes perfect' and 'How do you get to Carnegie Hall'...but that is the best one in the world. Speaking of practice, I picked up the guitar last night around 9:30 or 10 to log another hour of practice. I think that I may have overdone it in the morning. My hands just were not working together. So I put the guitar down and said 'I'll be back...

My mind feels like soup...and not even a good soup at that. I figured that I would come home and pass out becuase I was quite busy at work. 'The often laid plans of mice and men...' I came home, tired, and made some potstickers for dinner. I thought that I would go right to be after that becuase I felt tired. I ended up staying up to watch two episodes of ALIAS Season 2. I liked them quite a bit. It felt good to unwind. The last two hours of work were borinig monotony, and I only got smart and whipped out 'The Historian' for the last half hour. After I...
