The Beatles "LOVE" soundtrack! I just bought the 2-cd set! I love the ingenious mash-ups and newly scored acoustic version of "While my guitar gently weeps"...I MUST SEE THIS SHOW! This album is the soundtrack for the 'Love' cirque du soleil show in Vegas. It's a complete beatles themed cirque du soleil show with remixs of beatles songs in the score..from the fifth beatles himself, George Martin and his son..
You have to see the way it looks! Go here to see a preview of the show!! It's awesome!

Man, working in retail during the holidays is HELL! Christmas is like a giant nuclear bomb landing on Walmart..the aftermath is just weeks and weeks of dealing with returns and people's attitudes. I can't wait to be out of the Christmas/ NewYear after math.. My dad got me a new electric guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still don't know what kind it is yet, but just the whole getting a new electric thing is surreal. I can't wait till my Best friend rooms with me down in Houston, it's gonna kick ass!
Look out ya'll, If you hear that whistle blowin', you should check and see if you spot me on that train - well actually, I don't think you'll be able to - I have to always be hiding from the train guards (a.k.a. the #%@ Bulls) to keep from getting in trouble - but in the video below I'm hanging off the piggyback trailer of a train... ohhh risky..
Weird song lyric quote of the day: "Here's to all the headless acrobats - faces crushed in the circus dust; All in the name of gravity and the price of admission" -From the song "Moodswing Whiskey by Jeff Buckley..
I'm in computerrr class now. My guitar has a crack in the inside of the body... I played it to its untimely death... SO that means...I need a new guitar...and that I need to set "Barbara" down to rest - (I named it that after the chick in Night of the Living Dead -"They're coming to get YOU Barbara!" ) So the guitar I'm thinking bout - Will probably be either one of these guitars..They're all under a $200 value buget.. (I'm thinking responsible like..) except with the Beatles Guitar...
Epiphone DR-212 12-String Acoustic Guitar Epiphone EJ-160E Acoustic-Electric -(The guitar known for being used mostly by John Lennon during their early beatles- Hard Day's Night stuff) Washburn D100 Acoustic Epiphone AJ-1 Acoustic Ibanez V70CE Acoustic-Electric Guitar
I'm getting one of those soon, but not soon enough - I still got major bill-age to pay..
I played "No where to go" ( which is a song I wrote) for my english class today - It went really well
Halloween is tomorrow! eepp! My favorite holiday...and what a time for my guitar to break.. I miss my electric Oscar Schmidt guitar.....Poor ole "Black Betty" ...Rest in the pieces you still lay in...
So...an officer of some sort comes in and drops off these photos to be developed (In case you are still clueless, I got a job as a Photo Lab Technician at Walmart- read down below- I posted about it before..), and so...I feed the film through this computer and...There was this couple that had been shot to death...in the Godfather/Scarface way it seemed and they were lying on the floor of their house or something....It was SO bad!!!!! The guys face had bullet holes and had chunks of his head missing...I'm guessing someone was freakin pissed or something.. Well, when I saw the pictures I freaked out! Because I was just used to seeing little dogs or mexican kids and crap...and it was a big shock really. So I went to ask my supervisor person and I was like "..uh yeah.. I think you need to help me with this.." and she told me I had to print them all because it's ok for an officer and that it had been marked for court or something... It was crazy...and gross..
anyway, check this out and be amazed..This video goes perfect with my background! A Ribbon - Devendra Banhart..
I've been listening to alot of great country stuff lately - Guy Clark, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Townes Van Zandt!!, Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family, Hal Ketchum, Johnny Cash, Gillian Welch, Darrell Scott!! - I've been on a big country music binge...I guess texas is starting to get to me.. weird...
