It's been a while, huh? I've had plenty of time, just haven't felt like posting.
First off, music.
Windsor Drive
First word that comes to mind on "Shine" is 'contemplative.' From instrumentals to vocals to lyrics, the mood is consistent, and it flows beautifully.
Mellow: 7/10
Loud: 3/10
Lyrics: 8/10
Instrumentals: 9/10
The Static Age
Widely appealing. A lot easier to like than many bands. A bit darkerthan the above, mainly because the guitars are more front-and-center. It doesn't really sound like anything else. My example song is "Vertigo" (no, not THAT vertigo).
Mellow: 5/10
Loud: 5/10
Lyrics: 6/10
Instrumentals: 9/10
Action Action
The song "Paper Cliche:"
Variety. The verses are reminiscent of Franz Ferdinand and The Bravery... the chorus storms in, and *almost* sounds like something out of Jonothan Davis's head, though not as angry, vulgar, or, well, loud.
Note: If this song isn't for you, then try the others. The next one reminds me of Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Counting Crows.
Mellow: 4/10
Loud: 7/10
Lyrics: 7/10
Instrumentals: 7/10
Bury St. Edmunds
Instrumentally-driven. More involved than Sigur Ros, but just as floaty.
Note: Lyrics are apparently present further down the list. This applies to the song "Ties That Bind."
Mellow: 8/10
Loud: 1/10
Lyrics: N/A
Instrumentals: 9/10
All right, let's get on with the real blogging.
The road trip was fun... Don't want to blog about it, though. :P I'll give you states. OH, WV, PA, DE, NJ, NY, CN, RI, MA, NH, ME, NB, VT, ON. Cool.
I'm getting my driver's liscense on Wednesday. That's pretty cool. Also getting my school books and schedule the same day. That's questionably cool.
I guess I'm ready for school... I accomplished everything I really needed or wanted to accomplish during the summer, so I'm satisfied. I just wish the school year wasn't so long... I'm bored NOW, but by Feb. I'm going to be aching for summer again. Sigh. Inevitable I guess.
So, hmm, I guess I'll be done. I've done what I'm supposed to do. See you in a month.
Jk.
Maybe.
