problems still

Still having inexplicable server issues. Can't seem to get a good explanation why things aren't working. I think it may be time to pack up shop and move on.

I'll keep you posted.

And apparently music of the day is softer acoustic pop type shit. Im listening to the JamesTown Story by And Then I Turned Seven. A Dashboard Confessional sounding side project of a band that unabashedly site Blink 182/Box Car Racer as an influence. Any band that does that in today's hipster world is fine in my book.

Also, I've been giving the new Jewel CD a listen. I've been a fan since her debut back in the day. And while none of her follow-up CDs have come even close to the depth of content found in her first offering, I've enjoyed each disc. One thing I like about this new CD, is that it features one of my favorite songs she's ever played. While on tour for her first CD (a tour where I saw her several times) she played a number of songs (she mentioned 25 at one point) that she had wrote for her second album. And all these songs sounded great. But along the road to recording studio to do her 2nd CD, something happened, and she scrapped most of the songs, and recorded a bunch of new crap. most of which was arguably more radio friendly than her folk styled tunes she busted out on tour. Whatever happened to those 25 songs I wondered every time Jewel dropped a new album. Thankfully, over the past few CDs, she's included 1 or 2 of those songs, so all was not lost. ( or at least limited to bad bootleg recordings) And I'm super crazed to see my fave song "Last Dance Rodeo" on her new CD. It kicks.

Anyway, through it's not soft or acoustic, I've been giving Eternal Tears of Sorrow disc some spin. It's great mood music, perfect for drawing. Well, drawing certain things. The type of things Finnish Melodic Metal inspire.
