About
these are my thoughts.
Basically I made a playlist for a friend of mine that had wondered what I’ve been listening to. Well here it is.
Songs I love and albums I can listen to all the way through without skipping a track.
Songs -
Interpol - barricades.
Johnny Cash - the man that comes around.
Arcade fire - the suburbs.
Hot water music - remedy.
Frank turner - the road.
Tom petty - American girl.
Tom waits - Alice.
Alkaline trio - calling all skeletons.
Interpol - always malaise.
Jimmy eat world - my best theory.
Polar bear club - convinced I’m wrong.
Lucero - my best girl.
The bravery - unconditional.
She wants revenge - red flags and long nights.
Explosions in the sky - the birth and the death of a day.
Neon trees - sins of my youth.
White lies - death.
Muse - supermassive black hole.
Albums -
The gaslight anthem - The 59 sound.
The devil makes three - (self titled) the devil makes three.
Mike ness - cheating at solitaire.
Against me - new wave.
Heavens - patent pending.
Matt and Kim - grand.
Nine inch nails - the downward spiral.
It’s been a little while but here is a photo from one of our video shoots. It is the 3rd shoot we did this year so it probably won’t be out until november or something since the 1st one isn’t even released yet haha. But yeah! They will be awesome. Life is awesome. Someday I’ll write a book about it and then you’ll understand me..
I figured I’d throw some words together, in my attempt to describe my past few days..so here it goes. I hate people. Especially the ones who have to steal other peoples shit just to benifit themselves. I spend my hard earned money on things for my house and while I’m out on tour someone breaks into my house and steals everything I own. And when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING. There’s no suger coating what happened. The only things I have now are on the road with me. I think they left my coffee maker, some pots and pans and a few cups. Clothes are gone. Furnitures gone. TVs are gone. Beds gone. MY 1971 TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE IS GONE. Talk about kicking a man where it hurts…
This is the second time someone broke into my house, all within a year(Yes, I have a security system). So after dealing with the first break in, I had to rebuild things. Try to make things normal again. And just when I start getting comfortable in my own house again, someone breaks in again. And I have to say that the second time was 10x worse. I don’t wish it upon anyone.
I write this to only inform you people. I don’t want your sympathy or hand outs. I appreciate the thoughts and prayers.
Love is all you need.
And I’m sore all over. This is our first real headlining tour. We are 3 days in and tonight is in Birmingham, AL. I just cant wait to get to the west coast. I cant handle this cold weather every night! The best part about these show are that we are able to play a bunch of new songs. We’ve never really been able to headline cause we only have one record out. You can only play so many songs haha. For the record, Lost Boy is my favorite song. I actually just found out yesterday that our new record has a may 4th release date. I’m on the move for now. Yours truly, Robert.
bands like Social Distortion, Bouncing Souls and MXPX. They’ve managed to keep making good music for years. I just wish more bands followed there steps. It seems more like bands are trying to write a hit and get huge. I’d much rather write 4 or 5 good records and make a time stamp in musical history than be a band that can write 1 amazing song and then the next time I see them they are on VH1’s “One Hit Wonders!”. I’m only 22 years young and I have a whole life to write that “1 amazing song”, it’ll come when it comes, I am in no hurry. I’m just along for the ride :) -Bert
