Middle Brother, Fred Savage, May Day, & America!

Not sure where to start with this one.  Let’s get the craziness out of the way.  Obama killed Osama.  Which is a thing that needed to happen because he created the worst attack on American soil to date.  Don’t get me wrong I’m happy the guy is dead but it’s hard to celebrate the death of anyone, even of man that was so evil.  In my book two wrongs don’t make a right.  But if I was one of the families that lost someone I’d want revenge in a big way.  It’s all just such a bad situation.  Politics make my head spin.

On a lighter note, I found that someone took the time to post most of the Wonder Years series on youtube!  Some of the parts have disabled audio because there are some copyright nazis out there but you can watch like 92% of the episodes right now.  TWY first couple seasons are on Netflix but you click them and it says unavailable because the show has been sorting out all these legal problems with the music they used.  All I know is that they need to sort it out soon, but in the meantime go to youtube and be brought back to your childhood with the Arnold family, Paul, and Winnie.  Such a brilliant show.

My buddy Trapper and Mitch turned 21 on May 1st and we played a show at Linnemans celebrating the occasion.  The show was great and the boys had such a crazy weekend but I couldn’t be part of the festivities because I came down with the flu.  Can’t win em all.  The bars in Milwaukee will be a little more interesting with Trapp and Mitch milling about.

That Middle Brother record has been ruling my life over the last couple months.  If you’re reading this and don’t have it buy it right now for god’s sake.  It’ll hopefully change your life like it has mine.  The band is basically a super group made up from the singers of Deertick, Delta Spirit, & Dawes.  The production is a bit gritty sounding but so clean at the same time.  A very nice balance of different sounding tunes for a beautiful diverse package.  The melody’s and lyrics are so great that it seems like everything just came together effortlessly and natural.  Can’t wait to see these guys out on the road.  Heard through the grapevine that they came to Madison at the beginning of the year.   Won’t miss them the next time.  Gotta get some sleep.

Dog speed.
