Man-o-War

What a sweet weekend. It burned me out, but it was good. I accompanied those vocalists finally. One of them tried to rip me off. She wrote me a check for $20, when she and I both know that I did a $60 job, and that was what I was charging ($20/song). It was mildly insulting. After that, Ruiz and Dev came over for a sleep-over. We talked a bunch and signed each other's yearbooks.

I phoned Alana and she came over quite early Saturday morning and so did Emily Sager. We hung out Saturday and everyone was really tired. We played some poker with pennies. That evening I turned in quite early (10pm) for a 14 hour sleep :S I was still tired all of Sunday.

Sunday, I tutored Nestor for his English 12 provincial and 1984 essay. Afterwards, I rode my bike to the bank and to Galaxy to visit Alana. I came back home to study and then went to Ms. Luvisotto's for dinner and reminiscence of some band trips. I saw some h-core young pics of Kevin and me. The girls talked about all the random guys they picked up and what not.

The band of the week for me is Alter Bridge. I know I seem to have something about some random mainstream band that you already know about and how I am a sheep and like the popular rock. Anyways, Alter Bridge was formed from the original three instrumentalists from Creed (Brian Marshall on Bass, Scott Phillips on Drums and Mark Tremonti on Guitar). Their vocalist is this dude from a band called Mayfield Four, with which I am not familiar, but feel free to send their songs to me. His name is Myles Kennedy.

What I have to say about this band is that I bought their debut CD, "One Day Remains". There is some amazing musicianship, esp. the guitar. The vocalist has an inhumane range, but it is just awesome. They have a very full sound and much variety on this small CD. None of the tracks seem like a waste of space. The song "Find the Real" caught me within the first 2 seconds and I wanted the CD. btw, I still love Alice in Chains, Incubus and Nirvana and all that, this is just the band that has my attention now.
