I really enjoy listening to music while I work. If I am traveling around the church I turn my iPhone on for a little traveling music. I wanted to listen a few of the CDs that I have really enjoyed over the past few months and ask you what you are listening to.
So what are you listening to? What do you recommend?
Up From Under had a photo shoot a week ago and we got our pictures back and I wanted to share a few of them with you. We had a blast on the shoot on the west side of Tulsa near Sand Springs. We just pulled off the highway jumped a fence marked No Trespassing and proceeded to take lots of pictures. We will be using the pictures for the upcoming album artwork and in our online social sites. Can’t wait for you to be able to see our next show. We got possible dates for the second round of the battle of the bands and will let you know soon when we need all of you to come out to the show and scream your face off, seriously we need you guys to come out and help us make it to the next round.
Let me know what you think about the new pictures. Find Up From Under on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/upfromunder
In high school the first influential album in my life was Ten by Pearl Jam. It was the first CD I bought and I listened to it literally a thousand times. That fact that there was a track on the album named Jeremy was totally a bonus. My friend Rodrick and I bought every Pearl Jam album we could find at the stores and searched far and wide for the hard to find live and European albums. We would sit around listening to Pearl Jam or playing their songs on our guitars. Alive was the first song I could play from beginning to end. Pearl Jam was first live concert experience in the Travel and Transportation building at the OKC Fairgrounds and we were in the mosh pit and just out from the center of the stage. I have front row at Coldplay, but nothing will compare to that first experience. The Seattle bands connected with my friends and these bands continue to be in heavy rotation in my playlist. I remember the night they first played Saturday Night Live and thinking that Eddie Vedder is the freaking man. They had some much passion and angst. Not for You and State of Love and Trust are two of my favorite songs.
So what has been one the most influential albums in your life?
Check out the original.
There is some pretty interesting a cappella videos out there. I have wasted about two hours tonight on YouTube
I recently came into some iTunes credits. Lucky me. I got the new Kings of Leon, Lincoln Brewster and various Eddie Vedder and Red Hot Chili Peppers tunes. The Kings of Leon CD is really great. Caleb Followill’s vocals are out of the ordinary. I have noticed that I really like vocalists with strange tones like that of Paul Banks from Interpol. I trying to decide what to do with the rest of my credits.
If you could convince me to buy 1 or 2 albums or 20 different songs what would they be?
