Things i need in my life asap.

New Found Glory – Swiss Army Bromance
Toy Story 3

Kids at the Blog (Recommendation)

An artist i work with, Kids at the Bar, is currently ranked #38 on The Hype Machine.

If you have 30 seconds scope the track, its a remix of Quiet Riot’s Cum on Feel The Noize.

If you dig the track it takes about 5 seconds to sign-up on hypem.com and Vote.

Even if you dont feel like signing up and voting at least give KATB a spin or two.

Recommend; Ellie Goulding – Under The Sheets | Empire of the Sun – Walking on a Dream

Another typical list… Movies of 09′

Since tour is still about 4 weeks off this blog is going to consist of recommendations, lists of favorite things (if you have any less generic ideas for lists please inform me), and whatever nonsense i feel like rattling your minds with. To keep my semi-daily updates going i’m going to divulge my favorite movies to watch (over and over again) of 2009.

1. The Hangover (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms)
2. Watchmen (Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup)
3. Star Trek (Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine)
4. District 9 (Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope)
5. Zombieland (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson)
6. Up
7. Inglourious Basterds (Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz)
8. Fanboys (Jay Baruchel, Sam Huntington)
9. Funny People (Seth Rogen, Adam Sandler)

Recommendation

The Wonder Years – The Upsides

If you grew up listening to bands like Saves the day and The Starting Line, i highly recommend you Pre-order this album. This young but seasoned Philly band dropped a bomb on the pop-punk world with this album, and i just can’t stop listening. Also, check out their back catalog – full of gems.

Christmas

Today wasn’t the best Christmas, Grandma fell and broke her shoulder and my XBOX got the rings of death. I know these arent comparable situations but stacked on top of each other, what a crazy day.

Stoked to get some work done monday with my little cousin, we’ll be hanging with James E @ True Blue on North Ave. If anyone wants to check the shop out i recommend coming by and eating some pizza with us since theres a pretty good chance we’ll end up ordering some.
I’m watching Benjamin Button, catching up on movies i missed throughout the year, and its pretty sad so far.

Christmas Eve

My day was full of flooding and baked goods. Not the best combination but i guess its something i’ll have to deal with.

Just watched Dictrict 9 and must say i was impressed. Glad i finally watched it. Back to Chicago monday to get tattooed with my cousin and then parties 30 and 31. If anyones looking for something to get into on New Years Eve hit me up – a friend of mine is having a private thing at Abbey Pub with some good music and an open bar.

Tour starts in one month from today. Getting Stoked.
