Music Spotlight: The Host

I'm gonna start writing about new bands I enjoy that you wouldn't hear about on your dc101s or other mainstream means. Hopefully you guys enjoy

I don't know how these guys did it, but they made me absolutely not give 2 ish's about the words. That's not a negative comment, or me saying the singer is crap, it's just that the melody that the singer IS singing and the rest of the music just flow together so f'ing well. This track is called "On to the May" and I love the guitar. Absolutely love it. "Somebody else's love" is just my favorite line. Bravo.



Their myspace has three songs from their EP, and one extra. If you want to know, "Duel Rough Mix" is the one not on their cd, which is a shame...it's great. You can buy their EP through snocap on the myspace page for $5 or through their website thehostband.com for $7. The only good thing about paying $7 is that you get a sticker (woo?) but it adds more profit to the band.

There's a lot more music I've started listening to, and lately I've been spending more money on more non-mainstream bands. I'll write about some more bands I think you guys would like soon.

Oops, a lil mistake

Danielle wanted to point out to me some inaccuracies found in my first blog post.

She says she didn't say "Oh don't worry, some of them are getting aborted."
She said "we killin' some babies."

Correction has been made. Far be it from me to make Danielle sound a little more classy

Weak Willed?!?! More like "Creature of Habit"

This past Wednesday was Ash Wednesday, which means lent has started. For me it actually started a week and a half ago. My mom decided to give up wine, my dad decided to give up chips. So instead of throwing out what they had, they donated it to the "Danielle and Dave Love Wine and Chips" fund. Awesome. Three bags of chips (two were weird though like the chips that were really veges/fruits....) and 1 case of wine (6 bottles of white, 6 red). On a sidenote, Danielle had ordered a case of wine from a friend who works for a wine company about 2 months ago...it just now showed up. So, if you want to help us drink down the 24 bottles, come on over.

So anyway, back to lent. My cousin reminded me about it on Tuesday, and I forgot about it until this morning. Now I'm not exactly religious, but I figure "there's gotta be something that I love that's not good for me...how can I work the system so people think I'm a good person when it's really a selfish move?"

Problem: Give up something that's bad for you...kudos if you actually enjoy it too
Solution: Give up bad food/drink related stuff (one year in high school I gave up coke..so I spent 40 days and 40 nights drinking sprite).

I love chipotle, but I don't wanna give that up for 40 days. Danielle and I love going to Five Guys once every two/three weeks, and I don't wanna give that up.

I got it! Skittles. My company always has a bowl of skittles out for people to have. So if I go to the kitchen, I get some. If I go to the bathroom, I get some. If I just want some delicious heaven, I get some.

So that's the plan, no more tasting the rainbow for 40 days and 40 nights. Since I decided this all while in the shower, I'm now running late for work.

1. Get outta the shower
   
2. Get dressed
   
3. Get on the metro for work
   
4. Get into my office
   
5. Eat some skittles.

I literally held out for 45 minutes. That's all it took. I didn't even realize what I was doing until it was over. Bummer.

In a strange turn of events, I've decided to stop getting flashed in the men's locker room for lent. No jackass, I don't enjoy getting flashed. Yes jackass, it happened again. Critics said I was asking for it last time because I looked over in the sauna area. Not this time. The jerkass was right at the entrance stretching or some ish.

I need a new place to live.
