Streetlight Manifesto

I recently ventured out and bought a couple of CDs by this band, and let me tell you they are great.  The two that I have are "Everything Goes Numb" and "Keasby Nights."  The band is a fourth wave ska band if that is a real thing.   They have a bit of punk feel to them especially in the lead singers voice, which is a characteristic of the third wave of ska.  What I really like about them is that they use various tempos in each song.  These guys are awesome, and it seems to me that they are trying hard to do their own thing and not let deadlines and record companies get in the way of their music.  So if you get a chance check them out. 

I really don't have a whole lot to say, I just wanted to let you guys know about this band.  Oh, and if you are offended by "bad" language, or you would be listening to music with small children this is not the band for you.  They definitely use profanity in their songs, but I don't mind that as much as others might.  Umm...well this is a very superficial post, but I hope you check Streetlight out and enjoy them as much as I do.  If you don't like them, then you have no taste in music whatsoever. 

Peace

A month away

I'm not really sure why but I seemed to have taken a month off from writing in this blog. Not that too many people really read this stupid thing, but still I've been away from it for a month with no explanation. I haven't been that busy, and it's not like things haven't happened which I could write about. It seems that I'm lazy. That's right I said it. I'm lazy, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Is laziness a disease or something? Why did I just say I'm not getting any better? Why is it so socially unexceptable to not want to contribute to this screwed up world more than you have to? Of course this blog isn't exactly contributing to the world now is it?

Anyhoo, I think I'm back and maybe I'll actually start writing in this thing again. I'm going to try to be more selective with my laziness.

Peace, Love and eat your veggies,

Mark
