Permanent Waves

Day Twelve. I used to skateboard back in elementary and middle school. A friend of mine gave me skateboard VHS. The only thing I remember from that tape was an awesome, groovy rock song that stayed in my head forever. There was no way for me to know the name of the band or song. The only way to listen to it was by playing the VHS tape over and over again. It wasn't until years later that I learned that the song was "Spirit of Radio" from the band called Rush. I fell in love without even knowing her name. Now that I know her name, I love her even more.

Rush is just one of those bands that everyone needs to listen to. And if you don't like Rush, it's because you're a bad person. The music itself puts you in a good mood. It injects confidence into your soul and the belief that you are in control of your own life. And no matter how tough things get, it will work out in the end. Feels good, man.
It's impossible to discuss Rush without addressing the staggering musicianship. All three members are regarded as top of the line legendary musicians by professionals in every genre of music. The bassist, Geddy Lee, tends to receive the most attention. The other musicians are of equally high caliber, but rock bassists tend to sink in the background and unheard. Lee's bass takes a life of it's own. He really plays some of the best damned bass lines ever as they intertwine with the guitar to generate some unforgettable counterpoints.
Rush is a superstar band if there ever was one. Everybody needs to listen to Rush.
BUY OR DIE!

World's End

World's End In a clash of melancholy, The world will end. All the flowers of the Earth shall burn into a crisp. The fish of the sea, the birds, and the trees all die as one with humanity. Tossed into oblivion eternity of nothing thrown into emptiness. Will we be born again? The world set ablaze a fire in the sky. Inferno consumes the land All perish; die. Weep not for the critters or your loved ones. Today is the day we all meet the same fate Tossed into oblivion, eternity of nothing, thrown into emptiness, Will we be born again? In a clash of melancholy, The world will end. All the flowers of the Earth shall burn into a crisp. The fish of the sea, the birds, and the trees All die as one with humanity.

Muh Aztec Ancestors

Actually, as much as Mexicans love to believe that they where Aztecs, they where most likely the slaves to the Aztecs. Hell, they probably helped Cortez destroy Tenochtitlan. Come to think of it, the Aztecs weren't even native to Mexico. They came from somewhere up north. Utah, perhaps. They arrived, colonized, conquered,and enslaved dozens of other tribes. It was these subjugated tribes that joined ranks with the Conquistadors. So there you go. The Aztecs where evil colonizers and oppressors and the Conquistadors where liberators. Stop larping as an Aztec and start larping as a Conquistador.

Dreamhour - Now That We Are Here

Dreamhour - Now That We Are Here I first heard of Dreamhour when I listened to the album VLLNS . I think it's a wonderful album full of killer grooves and catchy melodies. My favorite tracks included "Cerebral Chase" with it's smooth chorus and both "Blood Patrol" and "Shobdohin" with its sexy guitar and synth lines. I cannot say I enjoy the follow, PROPSTVR as much. For whatever reason, that album simply didn't vibe with me. Maybe it's because the theme of VLLLNS is just way cool, and in having a cool theme, it generated cool music. What's not to like about a story involving a megacity vampire cult? We're not here to talk about those two albums. We're here for Now That We Are Here . There a few songs on this album that give me PROPSTVR vibes, such as the first two songs. Naturally, I can't fully appreciate these songs. Other songs contain quite good synth melodies, but are less tha...
