Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Yep, I'm gonna get down and write another entry for you cats. So what do I have in store for you guys? We'll, let's see here:

Music Critique - Brant Bjork & the Operators - S/T

Brant Bjork (Ex-drummer of Kyuss and Fu Manchu) made this album in 2002 after making his 1999 debut with Jalamanta. I picked this up yesterday and I love it! The music itself crosses Classic Rock with soem good low-brow stoner jammin'! Brant's vocals are better and more lively on this cd than on Jalamanta. The instrumentals themselves sound very cliche but are well written to full-out catchiness. The lyrics and song subjects are neat as well. One example is "My Ghettoblaster", about Brant's days in the swap meet and how all the rap fans would have ghettoblasters.

Anyways, I picked up one release by brant in my quest to check out 12 new bands. I'm glad I checekd him out. If I ever wanted to dance to rock and roll, then I'd pop this in real quick. TO hear any tracks by him, check dunarecords.com for samples.

Stand-out songs on this album:
Cheap Wine
Captain Lovestar
My Ghettoblaster
Joey's Radio

Random Project - Doom metal banners, Video Production.

Video Production is gonna be a pain in the neck. Gotta create a full-out storyboard for a 60-second music video. Then I gotta find my own camera to shoot it. If my friends don't have one, then I gotta try to get the one camera from school. if that'snot availiable, I have to rent one. Renting one generally costs $150.00 a DAY. Yes, only 24 hours. I don't really have the money for that so here's hoping I can ge lucky.

Doom Metal banners on the other hand isn't really an issue since it's only a spare-time thing. It wouldn't take too long but then again I'm usually lazy about thigns like this anyways.

Amazering Thing that Happened! - My friend James finally got back from Illinois. He claims to have seen the most beautiful house ever. He also went on a logn bike ride. Makes me wish I still had a bike...

Welp, that's all for now. I'll get back with you guys real soon.

Cheers,
cory
