Run With the Hunted - Brendan and Jamie

Hey everybody!

big news, we re-recorded the untitled song that I posted last february.

I got a new crash, and Brendan wasn't using a 15 watt practice amp.

It sounds a lot better, but it's still not perfect.

The Ugly Truth Piano Solo - Louis Logic

A moving piano performance of a song about racism.

Of course, it's satirical. I don't think anyone could be this racist in this day and age.

And for what it's worth, Lousi Logic is Black, he just has light skin.

Craziest ghost story ever! (My experience with the Paranormal)

My Experience With The Paranormal

 Okay, so I was sitting in the dark, right?

 On my laptop - and my cats in the room

 rummaging around for a few minutes, and it heads out, downstairs.

 So, I'm sitting in the dark for about fifteen minutes

 and I hear a little bit of rattling on my dresser,

 I look,

 nothings there.

 So I continue,

 and - a few minutes later - I hear a rattling again;

 and a bit of scratching like a mouse running around in an empty drawer.

 (Believe me, I'm not as welfare as it sounds.)

 So I get up and turn on the light,

 because something's got to be in there.

 I check the drawers;

 nothing.

 So I'm like:

 "Thats weird as shit"

 I sit down again

 and turn the light off.

 Now, im sort of waiting to hear something,

 and sure enough, a few minutes later I hear a little more rattling and scratching

 So, I'm like, 

 ''Papa?''

 (the nickname I had for my Grandpa, who died in my house about two years  ago.)

 And it stops.

 I didnt even say it out loud.

 I say in my head 'poppa if you're here with me make a noise'

 and about thirty seconds later, I hear some scratching and some rattling, and a creak elsewhere  in the house.

 I look over and my dresser is rocking back and forth, and the drawers on my dresser are  pushing in and out furiously.

 I remember what order they were in and everything.

 So I sort of mouth out the words: 'Poppa, quit it'

 And it stops.

 Just like that.

 So I'm freaked the fuck out, and extremely curious. I turn on the light and check the drawers  again.

 My cat was in the top drawer, and the top drawer was closed with about a 3 inch gap.

 The other drawers are all in a different order.

 So now I'm sort of unsure about it.

 I might try it again.

Amazing way to learn guitar!

"NPLICITY (pronounced: "in•plicity") - is the guitarist's audio player. It's designed to slow down a song without changing the pitch. Learning songs has never been easier!"

This statement couldn't be more true! I came across this program in an ad, and so I downloaded the trial version of this program, imported some of my favorite songs on guitar and drums (it's marketed to the guitarist, but works very well for drums as well). I could easily tell what notes they were playing, and the timing behind them. This program is pretty awesome, and I am considering buying it at this point because of how satisfied i was, as early as the first song that I imported into it. You can control the whole program with only the keyboard, and fine tune tempo and pitch to get a truer sound, to mess around, or try in a different key.

Cellophane - The Sound of Animals Fighting

I would like to say this is 'little-known' but I have a feeling that a lot of people have 

actually heard of them - I mean, their cd is sold at wal-mart

The Sound of Animals Fighting is a collaboration of a number of current rock/progressive bands who look to create 

a musical idea that is entirely different.

It's a combination of two of my favorite bands. Rx Bandits and Circa Survive; 

Though it sounds similar to neither.

Driven by virtuoso drummer Chris Tsagakis of Rx Bandits, he creates all of the 

song structure by laying down the first track (whatever he wants to play.)

The track is then passed to Matt Embree of RxB, who lays down the bass, and lead guitar. From there on it is circulated between members (distances apart)

to lay down the rest of the programming (electronica, vocals [ a role played by a handful of members] and then post-production.) Take a listen to it,

and if you like it, pick up a copy of the new cd: Ocean and The Sun.
