My Life and Pursuit of Becoming A Millionaire
UPDATE: Looks like they have removed the free download. I’m sure you can google around and find it available somewhere.
I love music more than just about anything nowadays. Angels & Airwaves is one of my favorite bands. If you don’t know anything about them, it’s Tom’s (from Blink 182) new band that he started when Blink went on their hiatus. Blink is now back together, so I think this will be the last CD from Angels & Airwaves for a little while.
I’ve been posting a lot lately about business related stuff, so I figured I would take a break and post about something near and dear to my nerdy little heart – Music.
The Offspring just released a new CD called Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace. I recently acquired this CD and I rate it 4 thumbs up. That rating is only good for the first 500 times listening through the cd. Thereafter it just gets two thumbs up. If you like The Offspring, you should definitely check it out. Same Offspring sound, with a nice little twist that I quite enjoy.
Give it a listen:
Just for the record: I don’t know why, but I googled “keepin’ it real”. Urban Dictionary was among the first in the search results, so I clicked on it. This is the definition I got: To be true to oneself; to rep for ones own hood. Good stuff! Pretty tight, eh? I guess I’m “repping” for my hood posting about The Offspring. Word to my Mom.
I’m a Republican; I shouldn’t be saying that.
I don’t know why, but this song has grown on me. I just happened upon it while listening to Pandora (this site rocks). I created a “station” called “Jack Johnson” and this song played. It kicks some trash. This kid is a pimp too. How old is he? I can’t tell. He’s probably like 30 and I’m calling him a kid. lol.
Enjoy
Edit: Just did a quick wikipedia search and the “kid” I speak of is actually 28. (born October 28, 1979).
Oh well, he’s still cool and makes good music.
My favorite thing about the song is how he says “fwee”.
Peace Out Brett.
Put aside your “I’m not listening to rap” pride and click “play” already.
Have you ever listened to music because you get a “special” feeling when you listen to it? Maybe it’s because I’ve been researching 2pac lately, but if you listen to the lyrics it’s actually quite insightful and “touching” if you will. It drives me crazy that racism was an issue for so long (and still is). Anyway, I think it’s a cool song. I’m sure I’ll still love it for years to come. Just so you don’t think I’m a rap fiend, I just got a Mozart cd in the mail the other day for some random reason, but I listen to that too. As I stated in another post, I think all music is magical.
Give this song a shot, (no pun intended).
I was trying to think of something amazing to write for my first post on this new blog. But I was thinking “what could be a better topic to start off with than a review on a great cd?” I would say music makes up at least 50% of the person that I have become and the person that I continue to be. It’s one of the things that makes life worth living. I’m a true believer that music continues to be one of the best mediums to express yourself through. Whether you’re creating it or listening to it.
