A Quick Hit Today (w/ and Update)

Just a quick hit today. A little punk rock from the lead singer of Against Me!, Tom Gabel. Enjoy folks.

[Update] I was thinking that when I originally posted this and didn't write anything that was pretty freakin' lame. The whole point of this project is to write about music and to just post a song and say enjoy is just lazy, and it's a habit I need to stay away from.

To be honest I like Against Me! but I love their acoustic stuff. The versions they do of Sink, Florida, Sink and You Look Like I Need A Drink are incredible. I actually prefer them to the "harder" versions. So it was my love for the acoustics muic that lead me to Tom Gabel's solo album. For the most part the album isn't very hard, but it also isn't very acoustic. It's kind of in the middle and I liked that.

As a matter of fact this album (Heart Burns) reminds me a lot of Wii Golf, random I know. I was working at the movie theater and working crazy late hours. When I would come home I would stay up for a minute or two playing with itunes or catching up on whatever show I missed and then crash. When the weather got nicer I would wake up late in the morning and put my ipod on and play some Wii Golf. I would just open the windows and play Tom Gabel's album. I would golf the entire length of the album and then get something to eat, shower, and go to work.

So as soon as the ipod brought Amputations to my ear lobes my first thought was Wii Golf, and how much those crazy hours took a toll on me (but that's another story for another day). It doesn't discount though how good this album is, and I'm not entirely sure that people know he has a solo album. Allow me to pass the word then.

I would like to add a new feature to the project now. I talk about these random songs that come across my ipod and discuss them and that's great, but I was thinking I'm not really touching on the songs I'm listening to at the moment. I still want to make this blog about the random songs, but I think on Sundays I'm going to list the five songs I can't live without for the week. So without further ado I present to you:

The Five Songs I Can't Live Without (At Least For This Week):
1. Walk- Foo Fighters
2. Became- Atmosphere
3. Two Against One- Danger Mouse w/ Jack White
4. No Other Way- Paolo Nutini
5. Get Some- Lykke Li
