New Blog!

Published on 2012-02-02 23:38:38

So sorry to disappoint all you all that were hoping I'd revive this bad boy once I got some time... But that just ain't gonna happen I've decided. Not because I don't like blogging about music, I've just grown bored with this format. So to ramble on about music without having to upload playlists or justify all my posts and just in general have fun blogging again, I've started a new blog that will give me much more freedom. So if you enjoy my writing style and still want to hear what I have to sa

Should I re-enter the world of Blogging?

Published on 2011-04-25 13:13:22

It's a good question, I clearly haven't posted anything in a good long while... So should I give this ol' girl a nice little kick start once again? Maybe with a little format change as I am currently lacking my music library? What do all you followers out there think? Are any of you still even reading this? Do you have any suggestions on what type of music you'd like to hear me justify? I want feedback on this! And if I don't get it I'll assume you all think this thread ought to be dead in the w

Another Side to Punk

Published on 2010-02-23 22:08:58

So I got to thinking, there are a lot of good side-projects that come out of punk bands. Punk is such a basic genre that often times members will get bored and explore other mediums to create a message through. Now with this being the heaviest week (assignment wise) I decided to post a bonus disc for you folks full of side projects of punk bands and a few that for whatever reason I just couldn't work into the mixture of bands (cause I sure as heck ain't getting that Christian list out within th

Punk... The Genre that Doesn't get Enough Credit (Part 4: Folksy Punk)

Published on 2010-02-18 16:35:27

Finally We have reached the end of this playlist that has been in the works since summer. I gotta say, I'm looking forward to doing something different and I'm likely not going to be doing any more 4 parters in the future. So without further ad-due, here is the final disc of your Punk Playlist.This is essentially the bands that tend to draw upon the more acoustic/folk side of music to flavor their punk. Since both early punk and early folk were heavily influenced by protest and revolution, it se

15 I've Songs Long Since Forgotten About

Hey, It's my fist update of 2010. So here's what's going down, I'm currently completing my final semester so my schooling has gotta take priority over this little project. That being said, I will try my darndest to regularly update (but anyone able to look through previous posts will be able to see how well that worked last semester).My goal for the next little bit is to finally finish that Punk series I started way back in the summer and tackle those Christian artists as that's the playlist tha

An Xmas Gift From MLG

Published on 2009-12-25 02:29:29

Well, as a Christmas gift to all of you who have been patiently waiting for a new post, here's some Christmas tunes to tide you over till the new year when I'll hopefully be able to keep up with things a bit better and finally finish that Punk series I've been working on since summer.Also, being Christmas and all, I didn't have time to put it all into a nice and pretty CD like package/format as I have in the past. Maybe I'll update it in the future but for now you'll just have to throw it all in

Bushman World Ukulele Winners from The Past

Published on 2009-10-15 11:44:33

Well, if you didn't gather by the last post being somewhat Ukulele focused, I've decided to enter the Bushman World Ukulele Video Contest 2009 (Which by the way you to can enter here: http://bushmanmusic.com/video-contest.html). Unfortunately I do not have the finished product in hand as of yet, but I assure you that I am working on it and will have it posted as soon as it is uploaded and entered (At which point you had all better vote for me on Bushman's forum so that I'll at least have a shot

The Ukulele: 4 Strings of Pure Awesome

Published on 2009-10-03 16:43:07

Well if you don't already know, I have kind of adopted the Ukulele as my weapon of choice over the past few years. Although unfortunately Canada seems to have something against Ukuleles so finding good equipment and cases can sometimes be hard, but I digress. The reason I have decided to take a break from the Punk Series that I've been so diligently working my way through is because today marks the day that The Bushman World Ukulele Video Contest of 09 has officially begun to accept entries. So

Punk... The Genre That doesn't Get Enough Credit. (Part 3: Bordering on the Edge)

Published on 2009-09-28 14:12:08

So just to start off, I've got quite the heavy course-load up ahead of me this semester, so this blog is likely going to become something I do when I'm bored. Which means you're likely only going to be getting about one or two entries per month. So with that let's move onto this weeks playlist.If you have been getting bored with the playlists up until now, this may be the turning point for you because this is the disc where we start to get into bands that not only draw heavily from punk but als

Punk... The Genre That Doesn't Get Enough Credit. (Part 2: Mainstream Punk)

Published on 2009-09-28 14:02:45

Mainstream PunkSorry about the nice long gap between this post and the last, I'm going to try and make them more regular and hopefully get into a routine of updating on a weekly basis once I'm back at school (or if schools work is too much than bi-monthly at the least).But I'm back this week with another playlist... now unfortunately this one probably will not have much for you true music lovers as this is the part of punk we really tend to rag on, but it's because of that that I think I need to
