Preliminary Fight:First off, I hope you guys appreciate my commitment to the first word in "wordless wednesdays." However, the responses from yesterday's post require some feedback. Just to clear things up:
1) It was a friend's house, not mine. But we still had fun nonetheless.
2) I know some of the poses looked flamboyant, but I was trying to replicate some of my favorite wrestlers poses like this:

and this:

haha, i don't think that made it any better, but the above is a guy from back in the day called "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and that twirl thing I was doing with the cape was trying to be like he used to do. We kind of had the same one, huh?
Undercard: So the other day I posted an Under My Covers blog and Mr. Condescending asked if I knew any artists from today that would go with some of the bands he listened to. I'm choosing to respond in a blog because I only have a couple so if anybody reading this wants to help (jeanette, i'm looking at you my musical buddy) feel free. But here is the few I came up with right now.
*Note* these bands don't sound exactly like the ones he mentioned, but my theory is that if you enjoy those bands, you should enjoy the following:
Kings of Leon
Example: Notion & Crawl
Manchester Orchestra
Example: I've Got Friends & Wolves at Night
Silversun Pickups
Example: Well Thought Out Twinkles & Lazy Eye
Cage the Elephant
Example: Ain't No Rest for the Wicked & James Brown
That's all I can think of right now, but maybe some more inspiration will hit me (or fellow bloggers will be able to chip in). But yea, Mr. C, I hope you like these but don't be afraid to tell me if you don't.
Main Event: So I came back from a surprise one day trip to Crestview yesterday and found I had a package. These were the contents of said package:
jeanette: Disc 1 is playing as I type this, ya know, cuz it's music to blog to. Thank you!
So that's it, but I wanted to let you know to drop whatever plans you have, because this weekend you are ALL going to be guests at my house ;)
Random lyric of the day:
I am slipping through, I am slipping through
I am slipping into the airwaves
(The static's where you'll find me)
And this is nothing new, you are slipping through
My fingers and into the airwaves
Into the airwaves
I got my contest winnings in the mail yesterday! I had this cool post I was going to do, but alas I rushed poor fuzz face to the vet.
ReplyDeleteI laughed hard core at the wrestler pictures!
Haha Phew... my computer was acting crazy and I was slightly concerned the cd's wouldn't work. Was all the candy acceptable? I went with some of my favorites! Also that artwork is iffy at best, some were ideas I saw online, some were originals. Glad you liked it, you earned it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your winnings! I like Kings of Leon & Cage the Elephant too.
ReplyDelete@Natalie:

@jeanette:
